Long Covid: Health Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that people with long covid are adequately supported.
Answered by Andrew Gwynne
I know firsthand how complex and debilitating long COVID can be.
Since 2020, specialist long COVID services have been made available in England, and NHS England is now completing a stocktake of these services.
This will provide an accurate national picture, identify key challenges and make strategic recommendations for future service improvement, development and assurance.
We have also invested over £57 million in long COVID research.
