Request
“I am making a request under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 regarding Long Covid in Scotland. The Scottish Government has previously reported that estimated Long Covid prevalence was 4.8% in Scotland’s most deprived areas compared with 2.1% in the least deprived areas.
Could you please provide the number or prevalence of people recorded as having Long Covid from 2020 to the most recent available figures, broken down geographically? Ideally, I would like this by the smallest geographical area you are able to provide. If figures cannot be released at very small-area level, please provide them by local authority or NHS Board area.
Could you also provide the figures by SIMD deprivation group for each year available?”
