Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent estimate he has made of the number of patients who have received all components of the discharge bundle included in the Best Practice Tariff for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the last 12 months.
No specific estimate has been made. Compliance with the Best Practice Tariff criteria is measured by the National COPD Audit Programme’s secondary care audit.
