Turns out BlueSky can only handle 60sec videos and I can't spend the day splitting vids in halves and thirds...

Sadly, Twitter wins on this occasion.

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.

Was this the best approach?

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

So difficult for you. She's very busy, sadly. As the Scottish government's response to long Covid has been so poor, Dr T has an enormous case load and so successful at what she does, everyone wants to see her.

Suggest engaging your MSP and local healthboard to push for improved NHS services?
