Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report by Asthma UK and the British Lung Foundation Recovery and reset for respiratory: restoring and improving basic care for patients with lung disease, published in October.

The report, published by Asthma UK and the British Lung Foundation, has been noted by officials. The recommendations within the report are welcomed, as there is currently working on going in these areas.

General practitioners and their teams have played and continue to play a crucial role in our response to the COVID-19 pandemic and in ensuring that people can get the care they need - between March and August 122.8 million appointments took place in general practice.

Available data indicates that there were over 2.5 million online consultations submissions and over 195,000 video consultations. While appointment numbers dipped at the outset of the pandemic, activity has now returned to pre-COVID-19 levels.
