Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many patients in England have been recorded using the SNOMED CT codes as having Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis for the four categories of severity that the SNOMED CT codes recognise (a) mild (SCTID: 377181000000104), (b) moderate (SCTID: 377171000000101), (c) severe (SCTID: 377161000000108) and (d) very severe (SCTID: 2897971000000106).

The Department does not hold information on SNOMED CT for myalgic encephalomyelitis/ chronic fatigue syndrome.
