In this episode, we talk about the recent announcement that NHS England has decided to 'deprioritise Long COVID'.

Unfortunately, this is not unexpected with the two main political parties talking about getting 'economically inactive' people back to work. The political argument would be that Long COVID is now costing too much money in terms of research, 'support' and welfare costs.

Now people living with Long OVID will be pushed back to work AND funding into research will be reduced.

M.E/C.F.S history repeats.

We are so sorry that this is happening with #LongCovid too.

Since recording this podcast this morning, a further announcement has been made. We strongly believe that one of these appointments is linked to this deprioritising Long COVID decision. One of these appointments was a key member of the 'research' team behind the PACE trial described as 'one of the biggest medical scandals of the 21st century'. This trial lead to the harm of some M.E/C.F.S patients.
