It is made up of patients...

David Cullinane: I want to read one paragraph from the support group submission we got. It is important because it chimes with what Dr. Lambert has said. It says: It’s often the case that LC sufferers are so sick with one primary symptom that we may not have the ability to be able to mention all the other symptoms for months. One member in our support group explained she was so sick with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert (6 Jul 2022)

He says that in July 2021 he established a long Covid clinic...

He says they focus on early post-Covid-19 follow-up with a group of pulmonary specialists, a cadre of dieticians and podiatrists but no mention of psychologists.

David Cullinane: Given that as Dr. Lambert has said, a lot of the focus seems to be on issues relating to the heart and other areas, and not the main issues that he has identified, does he believe that the current model of care that is in place is sufficient?
