    I had a look and they provide adjustments, and there are online sessions too, which is a good start. However, sessions run full day 10 am to 4 pm. That excludes people with severe fatigue-type conditions. I hope someone with mild M.E. who can manage or a carer signs up as we need representation!

    And those of us who can’t cope with that amount of time and social interaction

    I would imagine that those who cannot cope with social interaction , they wouldn't be participating.

    If we can’t participate then it’s not real co-production as they’re missing out on the thoughts of a section of disabled people

    I hardly think they will come to us, those that can and choose to do so will need to go to them.

    If I was being cynical, I would imagine that things like this are no more than lip service anyway, that is they don't much care what we think.

    Not sure why they not all online sessions with no regional restrictions.

    And i'm sure HMG will cry great salty tears, if only a few take up the offer to give recommendations. I doubt it makes any difference on what they decide to implement.
