- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
John Lahart: By long Covid Ms O'Connell means that where someone contracted Covid or tested positive or whatever, immediately after that or as a continuation of the classic Covid symptoms, this other set of characteristics, some of which are unique, started to display. I am interested in how the HSE describes this as an entity. It does not describe it as a disease. I wonder why the witnesses think that is.

John Lahart: What are the neurological symptoms?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
John Lahart: I am impressed with what the programme is doing and the additional information that has been provided, although I found the opening statement a little box-ticking in nature. To echo Deputy Shortall, language is important from, for example, a health insurance point of view in terms of how a disease is described. If it is not a disease, one cannot claim for treatment. Dr. Ní Bhriain...

John Lahart: Okay. Is long Covid an infection?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
John Lahart: What I was asking in the previous session was whether there are symptoms unique to long Covid. The impression I am getting is the symptoms, especially the most acute ones, were triggered by the original Covid infection. They do not seem to be unique in any way to warrant them being described as a separate entity as long Covid. Some of them may have worsened, etc. The people sitting in the...

John Lahart: Is there any other medical umbrella term in the experience of the witnesses that is used in a similar way?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
John Lahart: I could be wrong here so I am using very generalised language. As regards the diagnostic and statistical manual, DSM, which outlines what a disease is, etc., one of the basic requirements for a disease to be accepted as a disease, I think, from memory, is that it has to have a number of characteristics that are unique to it. It can have characteristics that are common to other diseases but...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
John Lahart: I am not trying to offend either the previous speakers or the current ones. I am really trying to learn something. I think the previous speakers' fear is that it gets put with ME, Lyme disease and other things where some GPs and practitioners say it is all in people's heads and there is no evidence for any of this, despite the weight of evidence. There is something going on here all right...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
John Lahart: What Dr. Ní Bhriain has just outlined there is for me a much more sympathetic, compassionate description than in her opening statement. On that notion of a constellation of symptoms and in terms of defining long Covid, have the witnesses ever experienced a disease or an infection that subsequently caused a constellation of infections or disorders or that could be characterised as an...
