Targeted lung health check letter

Respiratory funding reallocated despite 1 in 3 waiting longer than six months for lung disease diagnosis

What to do if you receive a letter inviting you for a targeted lung health check:

Lung cancer is the UK’s biggest cancer killer. It is the most common cause of death from cancer for both men and women, claiming almost 35,000 lives a year. Early detection of lung cancer makes it more treatable, so encouraging people to recognise symptoms, such as a persistent cough, breathlessness and sudden weight loss, and see their doctor sooner could save lives. https://roycastle.org/
