@IanSollom @asthmalunguk It was a pleasure to speak with you today, thank you for your support in targeting lung health as a priority in our local population

I spoke to @asthmalunguk to hear about their #AMissionForLungHealth . It was an important opportunity to learn more about such an impactful condition. I was glad to speak to @RachelTuffnell , a Specialist Physiotherapist working in Cambridgeshire, about these important issues.

Today we launch our #AMissionForLungHealth report calling on the government to get lung health care right. Our latest analysis shows that breathing issues are the leading cause of all emergency admissions in England. orlo.uk/4k2mE
