Show Notes

Respiratory diseases in Scotland: A Call for Urgent Action - Despite the Scottish Governments Respiratory Care Action Plan, progress is slow, with long diagnostic waits and limited access to essential treatments like pulmonary rehabilitation. These overlooked lung issues disproportionately affect deprived areas, leading to increased emergency visits and poor quality of life. Asthma plus Lung UK Scotland urges the next government to prioritize faster diagnoses, better treatments, and prevention efforts, proposing twenty key policies, including a three-million-pound fund for timely testing and targeted quit-smoking services.
