NHS Legal Action Launched By Family Of Girl

The family of Anna, a young girl who has been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS), has launched legal action against NHS Grampian, alleging multiple failings in Anna's treatment and care. According to the claim, these failings were avoidable, caused Anna "injury and damage," and led to her condition worsening. As a result of these failings, Anna has not been able to return to school, requires the use of a wheelchair, and is often confined to her bed. The claim also states that no further help was offered after Anna was diagnosed with CFS and PANS, despite the fact that these failings "could have been avoided had NHS Grampian followed contemporary guidance on diagnosis and treatment."

The legal action taken by Anna's family is the latest development in the ongoing saga of Long Covid, a condition that has affected millions of people worldwide. The claim highlights the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment in the management of Long Covid, and the need for healthcare providers [+]
