I recently met a group of people affected by long Covid. It affects many people across the State, as does post-acute Covid syndrome, although they should not be treated as the same condition. The roll-out of units to support people with long Covid has been quite slow.

There is a budget line for Cork but I understand that the unit is not yet open. It is also very much focused on the respiratory without taking into account some of the other disciplines needed to support people. What is the update on the operation of the Cork Covid clinic? Will there also be access to neurologists for those access long-Covid clinics in Cork?
