Reacting to the shock news that the Scottish Health Survey is reporting that 18% of adults in Scotland have asthma, @joseph_ALUK, head of @asthmalunguk Scotland said;
"The new Scottish Health Survey has revealed that more people than ever before, now have asthma.
"With such high numbers, it is important that everyone is getting the basic asthma care they need, such as a yearly check-up, an asthma plan and help using their inhaler correctly, so they can manage their condition.
“We also need to focus on education and support to help stop people with asthma being hospitalised or worse.
"Lung conditions including asthma are Scotland's third biggest killer and need to be taken seriously. It is vitally important that the new Long Term Conditions Framework included a lung health plan."
