Does anyone have an extensive list of who is eligible for covid treatments, if they test positive?

This is all I found. It's not that exhaustive. I can't see diabetes on it, which surprised me.

I'm not worried for me, but generally curious, as my condition is on it. But there was so much talk about how diabetes is a risk factor. Whereas my condition hasn't been mentioned much, as an actual risk factor.

I believe my condition was in category 6 for vaccinations and considered CV because having any kind of fever can cause a relapse and lead to worsening of symptoms/ disability etc.

I also wonder if anyone in group 6 will be considered for it? I know a few people who don't really know why they're in that category and hope they also qualify for the drugs.

It’s interesting that this article mentions diabetes and heart disease, but they don’t seem to be on the NHS list. www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59721240

Maybe it is a gradual roll out targeting the highest vulnerabilities first, as the list seems similar to those eligible for the 3rd primary vaccine dose?
My Dad has been emailed about it, I assume because of his Crohns

I think it might be to do with what the treatment is for, eg. transplant recipient are immunosuppressed due to anti rejection medication and some of the treatments are designed to boost an immune system.

As far as I'm aware, people with diabetes aren't immunocompromised so it's not a poor immune
system that's leading them to be high risk. As such some of the treatments on the list (I'm not familiar with them all) may not be particularly suited for someone that doesn't have a weakened immune system?

From what I've heard they test for antibodies first and if you have them, you get the anti virals, if you don't then you get the antibodies It's so so new - my friend is currently having treatment in my local hospital and she's only the second one they've done

I'm still waiting for a letter

Ah that's interesting! thanks. I've got a condition on the list but never received anything - not sure of the method of communication is different an Scotland?!

It says if you haven't received by the 10th jan (I think) to ring 119 A friend with the same condition as me is seeing her consultant tomorrow and asking so hopefully I should know more then

List is here - in appendix 1

Oo this is interesting. I’ve got 2 conditions on the list and strangely had an email about it but didn’t fully understand. I’m actually waiting for my pcr results now so we shall see. Hopefully I don’t need the new medication
