That is what concerns me, because that is on top of several weeks, let us say. In the meantime, a person’s life is completely put on hold and there are huge costs involved in that. People are out of work and all of that, apart from the personal distress and health issues. There is a big question about capacity there.

I asked Dr. Ní Bhriain earlier about waiting times and numbers. She told me the waiting time is five months on average. Can she clarify how many are on the waiting lists for the six long Covid clinics?
