Question:
To ask the Minister of Health for an update on the review of long Covid services being conducted by (i) his Department; and (ii) the Public Health Agency.

Answer:

My Department is working with the Public Health Agency (PHA) on an evaluation of long COVID services. This includes an assessment of the ongoing demand for services; a review of current service provision; and, taking cognisance of service developments elsewhere in the UK. The evaluation is anticipated to be completed by early summer 2024 and where there is a new service model, this will be subject to normal business case approvals.

As per above, my Department is working with the PHA on this evaluation.
