Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion (12 Oct 2022)

Seán Crowe: Before I let Deputy Shortall in I have a couple of questions of my own. In the lead-up to this meeting, I spoke to several people who have long Covid. Most of those people have a sense of frustration. They feel there is a lack of awareness of their situation. Some are fairly critical of their GPs, that they are at a loss and do not really know what to do with these patients. Medication...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion (12 Oct 2022)

Seán Crowe: A colleague spoke about his and his family's situation. His wife and daughter have long Covid. This is just one household. The father-in-law ended up in ICU, but he does not have long Covid. I presume there is some link in this regard. Would it be unusual to have a case where a whole family has been impacted to some extent in this regard? People are looking for answers. Could this come...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion (12 Oct 2022)

Seán Crowe: I am aware of a case, and these are individual cases where this information is coming from, of someone who has had clots on the lungs. An attempt was made to try to drain those clots, and this, in itself, had an impact. This person is taking about 20 different tablets daily. It is frightening that someone who did not experience any initial symptoms has now had their heart and lungs...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion (12 Oct 2022)

Seán Crowe: Again, looking at cancer care, for example, there is a team around a person. I suppose people are looking for that team, whether it be neurology, lungs or heart. The team comes together and one gets a better sense of the care path for that individual. That is what the ideal will be in the future. I have probably talked enough.

Seán Crowe: I thank Dr. Bannan.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion (12 Oct 2022)

Seán Crowe: I do not think anyone has criticised the people in post and if that is the impression that was given, it is the wrong one. I think that people are saying there are key elements of the teams that are missing and maybe some need to be beefed up more than others. The brain fog would not be unusual for anyone who comes out of a serious operation. It is quite common in that sense. The scary...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion (12 Oct 2022)

Seán Crowe: I do not think anyone would disagree that there is a huge expense involved in this and a good possible recommendation coming from today's meeting could be that people are being challenged by their illness and there is no-one saying otherwise. Could we get figures as to how many dedicated staff there are in the long Covid-19 system from witnesses at some stage? This is their homework. Where...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion (12 Oct 2022)

Seán Crowe: I really appreciate the witnesses coming in this morning. It has been very informative. Hopefully, it has been helpful for people who are watching at home. The committee looks forward to the HIQA survey on this issue and to any other developments in relation to it. Perhaps at some stage in the near future, if we have the time, we could return to the issue, or when the report comes out, to...

To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if a school (details supplied) has a special educational needs coordinator; if not, the reason for this; if the school has been allocated 1.5 teachers and two SNAs for every six SEN pupils; and when the SEN pupils in the school will be allocated their additional teaching resources to allow resource classes to begin.
