Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the total number of cases of Long Covid that will result from the covid-19 outbreak.
The Office for National Statistics estimates that 962,000 people in the United Kingdom had self-reported ‘long’ COVID-19 symptoms as of 6 June.
From September, NHS England and NHS Improvement will publish activity data on referral, assessments and waiting times for post-COVID-19 assessment clinics.
