To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her Department is taking to improve treatment plans for long covid.

The Government has invested more than £50 million in 22 research projects for post-COVID-19 conditions to improve understanding of the diagnosis and the effectiveness of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies and interventions, as well as to evaluate clinical care. We are also monitoring research being undertaken internationally.
