📣 Today we launch our End The #LungHealthLottery campaign and need your help to urge the government to take lung conditions seriously. People in some areas of the UK are more likely to be hospitalised or die from a lung condition simply because of where they live.
ALT There is a map of the UK with the areas which have high lung emergency hospital admissions and death rates. These include Knowsley, Inverclyde, Salford, North Ayrshire and Blackburn and Darwen. On the map are also the UK areas with low lung emergency hospital admissions and death rates. These include York, Bracknell Forest, Barnet, Kensington and Chelsea and West Sussex.
