The Rt.Revd. Dr Christopher Herbert, former Bishop of St. Albans, says the information on Lyme disease in the UK misleads GP's, Nurses and patients.  There should be more robust data gathering on people diagnosed with Lyme and it should be a notifiable disease.

He says “The NHS’s level of ignorance about lyme is amazingly bad….  If the data isn't collected how can the Government know the scale of the problem?…. This is the most devastating disease with long term consequences for everybody involved."
