Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if there are any plans for a public health messaging campaign to publicise the fact that Long Covid exists and, at the last count, 1.9 million people in the UK are still suffering.

The Government recognises that Long Covid is a complex multi-system disease which can have a debilitating impact on people’s physical and mental health. We understand the scale of the issue at hand and the Government is committed to improving the lives of people living with the condition.

Information on Long Covid is widely available from the National Health Service and the Government in a variety of formats. Detailed information for all age groups on symptoms and the healthcare support that is available for long Covid remains available on NHS England’s website.
