Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many asthma reviews were conducted in England in each of the five most recent years for which figures are available.

The Quality Outcomes Framework (QOF) ensures all general practitioner practices establish and maintain a register of patients with an asthma diagnosis in accordance with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance. Part of this guidance includes the provision of an annual Asthma review. The QOF annual review indicator was introduced in 2020/21 and contains Asthma review data from the past two years. In 2020/21 there were 1,132,926 and in 2021/22 there were 1,964,234. The 2022/23 data is to be published in September.
