Jackie Baillie said thousands of sufferers are living a “precarious existence” and risk being forgotten about by the Scottish Government
Scotland's new Health Secretary has been told by Labour to end the betrayal of long Covid sufferers started by his predecessor, Humza Yousaf.
It said that while the SNP Government has promised to deliver a £10 million long Covid support fund over the next three years, NHS England has dedicated £224 million to support the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of people with the condition. She said: “Thanks to the disastrous decisions of the previous Health Secretary, thousands of Scots living with long Covid are living in pain or being forced to go private.
“We are making available £3 million from our £10 million long Covid support fund over this financial year to support NHS boards to increase the capacity of existing services supporting those with the condition, develop these into more clearly defined local pathways and provide a more co-ordinated experience for those accessing support.
