Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 April 2024
141. Deputy Réada Cronin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Defence how many members of the Defence Forces are currently on sick leave due to long-Covid; the number in each of the past three years, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13856/24]
View answerThe Military Authorities have advised that while the Defence Force's electronic health record system, 'Socrates,' accurately captures occurrences of COVID-19 over the last three years, it does not have a specific classification code for Long COVID-19.
Therefore, it is not possible to give accurate data to the Deputy on presentations of Long COVID-19 in the Defence Forces.
