Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert
Dr. John Lambert:
No, it is not. As I said, of the 1,000 the patients that I have seen, I would say that probably 20 of them needed pulmonary support in the short term, but 1,000 of them needed neurological support. I am not saying that there is not a need for cardiac and pulmonary physicians in some cases. I am saying that looking at the document, it states that tertiary-level care for neurorehabilitation is going to be part of the plan. That should be prioritised as the number one issue. The other support services are minor issues compared to the need to support-----
