Based on the pioneering schemes in Manchester and Liverpool, the lung health check will not just identify more cancers quickly, but will also pick up cases of COPD.</p><p> </p><p>The NHS Long Term Plan also sets out the NHS’ ambition to improve access to treatments for COPD. Over the next 10 years access to pulmonary rehabilitation will be expanded.</p>
