The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he plans to take to include a focus on respiratory conditions in the NHS Long Term Plan.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne

The Ten Year Health Plan will consider the change needed to meet the three health mission goals: a fairer system where everyone lives well for longer; a National Health service that is there when people need it and fewer lives lost to the biggest killers. We will carefully be considering policies with input from patients, public, health staff and our stakeholders as we develop the plan, including on respiratory conditions.
