Pop star Annie Lennox has called for chronic pain services to be restored, saying it is “indecent and inhumane” to leave people suffering during the coronavirus lockdown.

The singer said she is a “long-term chronic pain sufferer” and understands “only too well what it feels like to go through hours or days with extreme physical discomfort”.

She revealed last year how an operation more than a decade ago means she can “occasionally suffer from excruciating nerve pain, which comes in with a vengeance when I least expect”.

The former Eurythmics star issued a plea for action on her website, saying that “due to the Covid 19 lockdown situation, NHS chronic pain clinics have been closed for months with no word yet on when they will reopen”.
