Children suffering with Long Covid have made a plea to the Scottish Health Secretary for more help

The youngsters handed over letters describing the impact of their symptoms.

Children living with long Covid hand delivered letters to the health secretary, calling on him to do more to help them with the post-viral condition.

The youngsters met MSPs outside Holyrood to explain how their lives have been affected.

Campaigners say more needs to be done to raise awareness of the illness, and how it can affect children differently to adults.

They want to see more targeted support from the health service and in education. Kaye Nicolson reports.
