Some of the parents I have spoken to are looking for things like physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and dieticians. I do not think you can even get on the list for a dietician in Crumlin hospital at the moment. The fact that we are also not offering them care at a long Covid clinic seems out of step, certainly with the UK at least. University College London hospitals have launched a service for children and young people. It goes from zero to 18 years and is for those who have been suffering symptoms for 12 weeks or more. They can access the same type of care as adults.
