=== Comments on 2007 NICE guideline === During the development of the 2007 guidelines form the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), several controversial comments were made to the draft version of the report, by St Bartholomew’s Hospital Chronic Fatigue Services, which at the time was headed by Peter White.<ref name=":28">{{Cite web|url=https://meagenda.wordpress.com/2007/09/06/a-selection-of-points-the-barts-cf-service-made-during-the-nice-guidelines-for-cfs-me-tom-kindlon/| title = A Selection of points the Barts CF Service made during the NICE Guidelines for CFS / ME: Tom Kindlon | last = meagenda | date = 2007-09-06 | website = ME agenda|language=en|access-date=2019-08-19}}</ref> The comments criticized the provision of equipment and adaptations (for example, a wheelchair,blue badge or stairlift) to allow individuals to improve their independence. St Bartholomew’s provided the following feedback: <blockquote>“Where is the warning about dependence being encouraged and expectation of recovery being damaged by the message that is given in this intervention? We are in no doubt that it is a powerful message for a therapist of any sort to provide such aids. Our view is that such aids should only be considered by a multi-disciplinary therapeutic team as a whole, and usually in the context of providing a temporary means for a patient to increase their activity levels.”<ref name=":28" /> </blockquote>Regarding multiple chemical sensitivites (MCS), Bartholomew’s commented that “MCS is a potentially remediable condition through a graded exposure programme on the basis that the underlying pathophysiology is a conditioned response. It should not be considered as a part of CFS/ME.”<ref name=":28" />
