I completely agree with the Chair. He is absolutely right on this. It is a matter of concern that with a condition that is so new, we are working to guidelines that are 13 months old. I accept what was said on HIQA being commissioned to do a study. There is a vast amount of research that has been done internationally. What is the mechanism for learning from that research and adjusting the approach? For example, what country has demonstrated best practice in relation to the treatment of long Covid?
