Tell us: have you struggled with access to Covid-19 treatment?

2 months ago 3

We would like to hear from people who have experienced any issues or delays in accessing Covid treatments in recent months.

Last year, arrangements for prescribing Covid medications, which include antivirals and neutralising monoclonal antibodies, devolved to the 42 NHS integrated care boards (ICBs) in England. The shift resulted in warnings that eligible patients were struggling to get hold of Covid treatments.

We want to know if the situation has changed.

For example, have you struggled to get access to antivirals? Have you had to chase for your eligibility to be approved?
