Best thing about Scottish winter is seeing the gritter map back in action!

3. The centrally-funded provision of #LongCovid services in Scotland was left to the discretion of health boards for the first 18 months therefore there was variation in access and quality.

2. July 2021 the Scottish Government instructed NSS to conduct a mapping exercise to discover how health boards were supporting people with #LongCovid

Q: Why did it take so long?
A: It followed the creation of the guidance.

👉 The guidance was 19 pages. Only 250 words was #LongCovidKids

Just realised that on the desktop version of Bluesky, it looks just like twitter 😐 makes it much easier to switch!

Have some northern lights from earlier this year, because, why not.
