Long Covid: Tyne and Wear
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 8 September 2025 to Question 73856 on Long Covid: Health Services, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of access to long Covid care for people in (a) Newcastle upon Tyne and (b) North Tyneside.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
Integrated care boards (ICBs) are responsible for commissioning specialist services for long COVID that meet the needs of their population, subject to local prioritisation and funding. For Newcastle upon Tyne and North Tyneside, this is the North East and North Cumbria ICB.
The ICB is currently carrying out a review of long COVID services across the region which is expected to be completed by the end of March 2026.
