Health Minister to be asked about long Covid services

When will the Isle of Man have a fully functioning long Covid clinic?

That's the question on the lips of Douglas North MHK John Wannenburgh.

In October, it was announced Manx Care was looking to recruit a long Covid specialist - who would also support Islanders with ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) and CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).

Further, the health board had stated a service for long Covid patients would be up and running by September - with no announcement as of yet. 

The news came following backlash about the lack of dedicated services on Island - with hundreds of adults on Island currently suffering with Long Covid.

He'll ask Health Minister Lawrie Hooper in Tynwald this morning.
