Maybe something might change with the new Chief Medical Officer, CMO. As Deputy Shortall said, I can see us coming back to it. What kind of treatment is taking place in the long-term Covid clinics that have been established? What kinds of treatments would Dr. Lambert like to see where there may be gaps? What kinds of outcomes would he expect from international research? Some members of the public will be watching this now, may watch it later, or may read the transcript, and there will be reports of this meeting. They will be quite anxious to hear that quite a substantial number of patients get long Covid and that there are a range of symptoms, from anxiety to long-term depression to fatigue. What kinds of outcomes could be expected with treatment?
