Long Covid: Health Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to support people with long covid.
Answered by Andrew Gwynne
I know firsthand how complex and debilitating long COVID can be, and I am committed to improving support for people affected.
Since 2020, specialist long COVID services have been made available. This includes setting up over 100 long COVID services across England.
We have also invested over £57 million in long COVID research, and I recently co-chaired a roundtable on strategies to stimulate further research into treatments.
