Long Covid - FOI Response Register

1. A detailed analysis comparing what was proposed for Long Covid services with what has been delivered to date.

This should include a breakdown of specific commitments made in the initial Long Covid Resource Application and their current status, noting any shortfalls or over deliveries.

The initial proposal was to fund a short-term fixed term post to scope out and pilot with individuals with lived experience, a care coordinator type approach. We were unable to identify a suitable post holder to do this work due to a variety of factors at the time.

The initial proposal was not to develop a specific service as this is not possible within the confines of the allocated funds.

Impact Assessments of Variances:

2. Any assessments, evaluations, or reports detailing the impact of any identified shortfall or over-delivery on patient outcomes, service availability, or other relevant metrics.
