President’s Report Reports |

President’s Report (continued)RACP CFS Guidelines’The guidelines’ will be published in the Medical Journal of Australia sometime in late February / early March. A third draft was released for final checks early in 2002. As explained elsewhere, this final draft was not distributed to our National Association. We have learned that although there are some changes they are not substantive (as we expected.) In view of the lack of radical change the National President has sent a letter on behalf of us all to the Consumer Health Forum (who have had a representative involved in the process) asking them to reject the guidelines. It is disappointing that these guidelines will be printed, and especially so as the UK guidelines have just been released – they are far superior. Perhaps this timing will be to our advantage? Time will tell.
