To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of a (a) compensation, (b) settlement and (c) pension scheme for key workers seriously impacted by long COVID as a result of their work.

The Department has not made an assessment.
The Department continues to work with the Department for Work and Pensions and as more evidence about the disease emerges, will consider the Government’s provisions and approach for those key workers experiencing the long-term effects of COVID-19.
