Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert
Colm Burke (Cork North Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
With regard to the clinic in Dublin, Dr. Lambert has said he is seeing 1,000 patients and doing what he believes is the best way of dealing with it. Would it be in everyone's interest to look at other jurisdictions and try to tie in all of the best information in order to get the best treatment plan for every patient who has long Covid? This is why I asked Dr. Lambert about the GP issue. They seem to be confused, at this stage, about how to manage their patients, how to refer them and which is the appropriate clinic to which to refer patients. Would we all be better off if the people who are heading up the existing clinics could all co-ordinate and work on setting out the best way forward? It would put everyone, including Dr. Lambert, in a stronger position.
