Armed Forces: Long Covid
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many and what proportion of military personnel referred to date for treatment for long covid at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre have (a) been treated and (b) returned to work.
- Answer
-
Between 23 April 2020 and 19 July 2021, the latest period for which figures are available, a total of 462 UK Armed Forces personnel had at least one appointment at one of the COVID clinics at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre (DMRC). Of these, 447 personnel attended a COVID outpatient appointment, 260 attended a Defence COVID Recovery Service appointment, 224 a COVID course appointment and 26 a COVID course review appointment.
Information about sickness absence in the Armed Forces is not held centrally. It is therefore not possible to provide with accuracy the number of personnel who have returned to work after attending a DMRC COVID clinic.
