answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2024 answer text <p>Since 2020, the National Health Service in England has invested significantly in supporting people with long COVID. This includes setting up specialist post-COVID services nationwide for adults, and children and young people, as well as investing in ensuring general practice (GP) teams are equipped to support people affected by the condition.</p><p>As of 1 April 2024, there are over 90 adult post-COVID services across England, along with an additional 10 children and young people’s hubs. These services assess people with long COVID and direct them into care pathways which provide appropriate support and treatment. GPs will assess patients that have COVID-19 symptoms lasting longer than four weeks, and refer them into a long COVID service where appropriate. Referral should be via a single point of access, which is managed by clinician-led triage.</p><p>More widely, we are committed to moving to a Neighbourhood Health Service, with more care delivered in local communities, to spot problems earlier. This includes shifting resources to primary care and community services over time.</p><p>Having suffered from long COVID myself, improving services and outcomes for patients remains a priority.</p> answering member constituency Gorton and Denton answering member printed Andrew Gwynne question first answered 11/09/2024 11:20:46 answering member 1506 label Biography information for Andrew Gwynne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2024 answer text <p>Both the UK and the EU allow for visa-free short-term travel in line with their arrangements for third country nationals. The UK allows EU citizens short-term visa-free travel for up to six months. Meanwhile, the Schengen Borders Code allows for third country nationals to travel within the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period; this is standard for third country nationals travelling to the EU. While we recognise that extending the 90-180 day period is a matter for Member States and the EU, the Government will continue to listen to and advocate for UK nationals abroad.</p> answering member constituency Cardiff South and Penarth answering member printed Stephen Doughty question first answered 09/09/2024 08:06:39 answering member 4264 label Biography information for Stephen Doughty
