<p>According to the Daily Air Quality Index there were ‘moderate’ to ‘very high’ levels
of air pollution in some areas of the UK between 7 and 8 April and between 15 to 25
April 2019. The figures for 999 and 111 calls made from people with asthma in this
period are not available in the requested format and a comparative assessment has
not been made.</p><p>In January 2019, the Government launched the Clean Air Strategy,
which sets out plans for dealing with all sources of air pollution to save lives,
protect nature and boost the economy.</p><p>The Department collaborated with the National
Review of Asthma Deaths led by the Royal College of Physicians which examined the
circumstances surrounding deaths from asthma and reported in 2015. Lessons learned
about the factors that contribute to asthma deaths inform the National Health Service
about what constitutes good care and encourages the development of appropriate services
for people with asthma.</p>
