answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2021 answer text <p>In October 2020 NHS England and NHS Improvement announced a commitment to a five point plan for ‘long’ COVID-19, which included the commissioning of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to develop a clinical case definition and associated guidance for long COVID-19 alongside the Royal College of General Practitioners. The ‘COVID-19 rapid guideline: managing the long-term effects of COVID-19’ was published on 18 December 2020. <br>Since evidence is not yet available on the effectiveness of herbal medicine in treating long COVID-19, NICE has made no recommendation relating to it. As more evidence emerges on the condition and its management, it will give us a better understanding on the most appropriate interventions and guidance and recommendations will be reviewed accordingly.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 21/01/2021 17:56:57 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
