Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion
Dr. Siobh?n N? Bhriain:
I thank the Deputy and if I could answer the first question on the UL situation. That has been a particular challenge to recruit to. There was initially a challenge in recruiting a general infectious diseases post there. We were looking to recruit to that and to the specialist long Covid-19 clinic. Talking to Ms Cowan and our colleagues, we are planning to run that service - I think through a newly-appointed person - but there is a plan to run it through the infectious diseases clinic while awaiting the appointment of the infectious specialist consultant in long Covid.
