Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert
David Cullinane (Waterford, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I want to focus on what the solutions are because Dr. Lambert made a number of very strong statements in his submission that I accept and that must be said. He says based on the management of long Covid patients at his clinic that he has accumulated a lot of medical evidence, and he certainly has because he has submitted it to us. He says that in July 2021 he established a long Covid clinic that included a range of specialist care. I am sorry, it was an application to set up such a clinic. He heard nothing further about that submission until March 2022. I want to go through some of what Dr. Lambert said. He said he published the results of his work in medical journals and offered to share his results with the national clinical lead and with the Minister for Health. Dr. Lambert then said he invited the Minister to attend a dissemination event he held in April 2022 and subsequently wrote to the Minister to get an opportunity to present his data. Did the Minister respond?
