Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert

Dr. John Lambert:

I think it is quite poor. Many services were under-resourced before the arrival of Covid. Psychology and psychiatric services are an example and the same is true of community physiotherapy. Access for patients is quite limited. Patients are spending a lot of their own money. They are going to clinics here, there and everywhere desperately trying to get help. It is a challenge for patients with long Covid and it is even more of a challenge for those who cannot afford to access private care.
