Dear Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust,

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the
following information on the number of staff impacted by Long Covid
working in your trust.

Could you state the number of staff members who were recorded to have had
Long Covid while working for your trust at any time in the period between
October 2021 - October 2022?

Could you state all leave of absences taken where Long Covid was cited as
the cause between October 2021 - October 2022 and the length of time each
absence lasted for.

Does your trust offer any specialised support for staff members living
with Long Covid? If so could you please provide details of these services?

Yours faithfully,

Grace Pritchard
