I also want to raise the need to revise the model of care for long Covid in this country. An interim model of care was launched in September 2021 as an interim measure. Since then, we have had a HIQA report and HIQA has reviewed the model of care. An epidemiological survey is about to be completed by the HSE, but it will be January 2025 before we see any change to the interim model of care. That is not sufficient to deal with the challenges and needs of patients who are struggling with long Covid at the moment. I urge the Taoiseach to intervene on this.
