Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if his Department will produce a respiratory strategy for the NHS.
There are no plans for a national respiratory strategy.
In July 2011 ‘An Outcomes Strategy for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Asthma in England’ was published. This was followed by a companion document in 2012, which set out how the National Health Service could implement the changes identified in the strategy at a local level.
