Tom Kindlon has drawn attention to the report on the career of Dr (now Professor) Manse! Ay!ward (Co-cure NOT: 16 October 2004: 14.32: New UNUM Provident Centre for Psychosocial and Disability Research at Cardiff University funded by a £1.6m grant from the UNUM Provident insurance company).
The article in question reports an interview with Aylward by Mario Basini published in The Western Mail on July 12, 2004, called “Tending a family crisis”, to which full acknowledgement for the quotations used is here given.
Until recently Dr Aylward was Chief Adviser, Medical Director and Chief Scientist to the UK Department for Work and Pensions, previously the Department of Social Security (DSS). Readers of Volume I of “Denigration by Design: A Review, with references, of the role of Dr Simon Wessely in the perception of Mya!gic Encephalomyelitis 1987-1999” will recall the association between Aylward and Wessely about ME/CFS as typified in the letter dated 10 January 1992 to Dr Ay!ward from Dr Wessely.
In that letter, Wessely wrote: “It is certainly true that I and my colleagues consider that anxiety about the consequences of activity is one factor perpetuating disability in CFS. I have previously been involved in advising the DSS that CFS should not be grounds for permanent disability”. It wilt be remembered that “psychological” disorders are barred from receiving certain categories and levels of State benefits by the Government Department of which Dr Aylward was in charge.
