Dr. John Lambert:

Let us go back. Covid started in March 2020. We are now in July 2022. Lots of data have become available during this time period. A lot of countries have taken these data on board and provided a service that really meets the needs of the people. I believe that the patient group submitted a position paper on their issues. They included those countries that have GP guidelines on how to manage long Covid, including France, Spain, Ontario in Canada, Wales and the UK. These countries have guidelines for the GP management of long Covid patients. Many countries are ahead of the curve in managing long Covid. I am not here today to say "This is the way it should be". My suggestion during last July and August was that we really must put the brain at the forefront of the management of long Covid.
