The financial support scheme supporting frontline HSE staff who continue to suffer from Long Covid has come to an end. Several have told us the impact when their payments are reduced of end completely could be severe. A man has appeared in court in Sydney accused of murdering 15 people in the attack at Bondi Beach in December. The trial is expected to run until April.
