360. To ask the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 454 of 8 March 2023, if he has responded to a request from the Minister for Social Protection to designate long-Covid as an occupational illness; the current status of the request; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

There has been a delay in responding as officials required time to engage with relevant bodies, to explore available options.  I will be responding this week and confirming to Minister for Social Protection that the Department of Health officials will liaise with relevant parties to support our Health Care Workers.
