Image with the words Breaking News at the top, with a gold and red circle and a spotlight. Below that is a blue background with a white rectangle on it that contains black text saying Ashley Dalton Says NO to Publishing Results of Long Covid Clinic Stocktake. In the bottom left corner is the Long Covid Support logo and in the bottom right is our website address www.longcovid.org. Across the very bottom in white it reads Long Covid Support is a registered charity in England and Wales 1198938.
Copy of answer given by Ashley Dalton MP to Jo Platt MP. There is a small photo of Ashley Dalton in the top left corner. Text reads: Ashley Dalton The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care. NHS England's long COVID and myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, stocktake aimed to collate information about service commissioning, activity, and delivery, to provide a national overview of the services commissioned by integrated care boards as part of their core activity. The stocktake was completed for an internal NHS England committee and, therefore, there are no plans to publish the findings. However, those findings did confirm the widely recognised challenges of significant variation in care delivery across England, and a lack of comprehensive activity data.
🚨. @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social tells @joplatt.bsky.social that their stocktake of NHS #LongCovid services is complete but...
“THERE ARE NO PLANS TO PUBLISH FINDINGS”!!
Perhaps Ashley would like to look at our own stocktake - Link below⬇️
⭐️And our full #LongCovidClinics report is out very soon!⭐️
A grey background with the following text: Statement of Concern: The Future of Long Covid Clinics We have received numerous emails and messages from patients, families, and healthcare professionals expressing deep concern over the potential closure of Long Covid clinics. These clinics provide vital, specialised care for thousands of people still struggling with the long-term effects of Covid-19. Long Covid SOS
A grey background with the following text: Without these dedicated services, patients will be left without the support they desperately need, placing further strain on GPs, hospitals, and the wider healthcare system. We need more and better funding for these clinics, not their closures. The loss of these clinics would not only harm individuals but also have wider consequences for the workforce and economy, as many people with Long Covid struggle to return to work. Long Covid SOS
A grey background with the following text: We urge decision-makers to listen to these concerns and commit to keeping Long Covid clinics open, fully funded, and accessible. We will be actively pursuing this issue and pushing for the continued support, more funding and expansion of these vital services. Failing to act would be a step backwards in addressing the long-term consequences of the pandemic and would leave many without the care they need to recover. Long Covid SOS
Statement of Concern regarding the future of #LongCovidClinics across the UK (in pics & alt text)
We are receiving many messages from the #LongCovid community about announced/ potential closures.
We are actively pursuing this issue urgently as answers are needed. We hope better news lies ahead 🤞
2/3. Although @gwynnemp.bsky.social has announced a stocktake of #LongCovid services, we are hearing more concerning reports from people that their #LongCovidClinics are closing. We therefore felt it necessary to release this information now, ahead of a report we will be publishing soon./
Image with a peach coloured background. Text reads IS YOUR LONG COVID SERVICE AT RISK? CHECK OUR LIST AND TAKE ACTION TODAY! The Long Covid Support Logo is at the bottom of the image.
🚨1/3. UK #LongCovidClinics - the real situation!🚨
In light of figures frequently quoted in Parliament of the number of #LongCovid Services that are supposedly operating in the UK, we submitted Freedom of Information requests to every UK NHS Trust, Health Board & ICB.
