Gwybodaeth y gofynnwyd amdani:

Cyflwynwyd y cais rhyddid gwybodaeth hwn drwy gyfrwng y Saesneg, felly yn Saesneg yn unig mae Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru wedi ymateb.

Can I please ask for all documentation around Public Health Wales decision to keep Long COVID and ME/CFS as separate conditions.
Further info – 7 scientific studies have now said at least half of Long COVID meet the diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS so we would like to know why PHW has not acknowledged this yet in November 2022.

Gwybodaeth a ddarparwyd ar gyfer yr ateb:

Thank you for your recent request dated 4th November 2022.
Public Health Wales do not have any role in setting criteria for whether long Covid is ME/CFS and we do not hold the information requested.
