Question
To ask the Scottish Government what progress it has made on implementing the commitments of the Respiratory Care Action Plan.
Answer
Since publication of the Respiratory Care Action Plan in 2021, we have established the Scottish Respiratory Advisory Committee (SRAC) to provide governance and oversight of its implementation.Three priority areas for Year 1 were identified by the SRAC and progress to date includes:
- Formation of the Pulmonary Rehab (PR) sub-group, comprised of clinical specialists and service managers from across Scotland, to develop ‘Best practice guidance’ for delivery of PR services.
- Formation of a Child to Adult Transition group to develop best practice guidance for transitions in Asthma services initially.
- Workshops held to agree a way forward with respiratory data.
