engagement already taking place across the country, in developing their strategic
Long Term Plan implementation plan over the summer. NHS England and NHS Improvement
will then publish a national implementation plan in the autumn.</p><p>NHS England

funding of £70 million over four years to fund lung health checks in 10 areas of the
