Members presented with sufferers' witness statements
The health minister has apologised that a 'meaningful' service to help ME sufferers is still not in existence on the Isle of Man.
David Ashford's comments came towards the end of a lengthy Tynwald debate on the illness.
After hearing many of the members express their concerns, about a lack of support, Mr Ashford said he agreed something had to be done:
Tynwald members spent most of the morning in an, at times, emotional debate on the provision of ME services on the Island.
It's after a motion presented by Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Graham Cregeen on behalf of Kitty Gawne who suffers with the illness:
The court was told around 350 people on the Isle of Man suffer from the condition.
Dr Helen Greig, from Southern Group Practice, told members of the challenges facing the health service with this matter:
