The HSE will be before the committee later. Its opening statement mentions that its interim model of care "is broadly in line with other models internationally." It further states the HSE has, "Six Long Covid clinics [that] are operational and receiving patients, with each clinic supported by an interdisciplinary team with expertise in the management of Long COVID", that it has filled 53.6 whole-time equivalent posts, and Covid clinics have been established in Beaumont, St. James's, and St. Vincent's hospitals, and Cork, Limerick and Galway university hospitals. How are those clinics operating for the people that contact the LCAI? How are they functioning on the ground?
