That\u2019s an aim that has brought together MPs and Peers from across the political spectrum, working hard with a common goal in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In August, we heard from people living with Long Covid, and hundreds more sufferers submitted written evidence to our inquiry. One of the MPs asking the questions that day was APPG member Andrew Gwynne, who himself is living with Long Covid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Their testimonials were incredibly moving and concerning. What was clear was that we needed to make some urgent recommendations to the prime minister; the health, wellbeing and employment arrangements for those living with Long Covid remain unaddressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And as the number of people with Long Covid grows, the situation gets more and more urgent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, on 24 August 2020, I wrote to the prime minister with the APPG\u2019s recommendations. With schools about to reopen, we called on the government to formally recognise Long Covid, commit resource to a rapid, comprehensive study of the condition, and provide the necessary support as a matter of urgency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although some research into the condition, and its long term effects on people\u2019s health, is ongoing, it needs to be expanded to include those who were never hospitalised or tested.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, the government must set up a working group to address the needs of people living with Long Covid, including by developing new guidelines for employers and GPs. It is only fair on those experiencing this condition, as well as for our NHS and employers, that we are able to better understand what\u2019s needed to enable sufferers to access the help they need, and return to the world of work when they\u2019re ready.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There\u2019s more we can do to understand what\u2019s really going on. That\u2019s why we also called on the government to start collecting and publishing regular figures on the number of people living with Long Covid and those who have received support under the NHS England Covid Recovery Service. We must collect as much information as we can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It all has to start with formal recognition, and we\u2019re not even there yet. At the time of writing, I have not received any response from the prime minister to our recommendations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If we can\u2019t even respect those suffering with this condition by formally acknowledging their situation, how are we supposed to put the support in place that is clearly needed?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What\u2019s clear is that general awareness of Long Covid, and its seriousness, is too low in Westminster. That\u2019s why as an APPG we will continue to work hard in the coming weeks to raise awareness of it in both Houses of Parliament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">More submissions on this subject are more than welcome<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">we don\u2019t pretend to be the experts in this field, and expert or first hand accounts will only strengthen our inquiry as we continue in the weeks ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After all, we\u2019re doing this to save lives. That\u2019s what matters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, I hope readers of <em>The <\/em><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BMJ <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">will join me in challenging the prime minister to take our recommendations seriously (as he promised to me he would in PMQs in July), respond to us, and take action now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><b>Layla Moran<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is the MP for Oxford West and Abingdon and chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on coronavirus.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><b>Competing interests<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: None further declared. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Layla Moran, MP and chair of the APPG on coronavirus, says that awareness of Long Covid, and its seriousness, is too low [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/2020\/09\/23\/the-health-wellbeing-and-employment-arrangements-for-people-with-long-covid-remain-unaddressed\/\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48646,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[223],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guest-bloggers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
