Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert
Dr. John Lambert:
In my opening statement I said that March was when I was first aware of any kind of national guidelines, let alone that there was a committee on long Covid. In those guidelines they basically said there were to be three infectious disease long Covid clinics. In Dublin they would be at Beaumont, St. Vincent's and St. James' hospitals. Subsequently, when I looked at additional guidelines it said they were going to start up long Covid clinics in Galway, in Cork and in one other location in April 2022. This is from looking at what was on the HSE website. I am not even aware that these clinics have been opened up and are functioning.
