I can confirm that no staff in my Department have had their employment terminated as a result of suffering from Long COVID.
I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy in respect of the HSE and the staff of the Section 38 agencies under their aegis.
The information has been sought from the Non-Commercial State Agencies under the aegis of my Department, and their response will be provided to the Deputy by way of separate cover when collated.
