Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert
Dr. John Lambert:
The patients' groups submitted a document on this and gave me a copy of it. They provided the committee with a list of guidelines for GPs with long Covid patients. Some countries are ahead. I have taken a look at the French documents. France is further ahead in terms of providing rehabilitation for patients with long Covid. The UK was the first country to put together guidelines and a lot of the guidelines from Ireland have been based on the UK model. However, it failed to update them. No country is perfect. France is a model of being ahead of the curve in managing patients with long Covid.
