Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has plans to include measures to promote an increase in treatment reviews of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients who are risk of exacerbation within CORE20+5.
There are no plans to do so. However, Core20PLUS5 supports increasing the uptake of COVID-19, flu and pneumonia vaccines to reduce infective exacerbations and potential emergency hospital admissions.
