Dr. Lambert also reviewed the draft long Covid guidelines the HSE has put in place. He says they focus on early post-Covid-19 follow-up with a group of pulmonary specialists, a cadre of dieticians and podiatrists but no mention of psychologists. He said he was surprised the Mater infectious diseases unit was not included as a site for follow-up, despite generating much of the scientific data. Was there interaction with the Minster or the national clinical lead on that issue?
