I know firsthand how complex and debilitating long COVID can be.

Since 2020, specialist long COVID services have been made available in England, and NHS England is now completing a stocktake of these services.

This will provide an accurate national picture, identify key challenges and make strategic recommendations for future service improvement, development and assurance.

We have also invested over £57 million in long COVID research.
