answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2020 answer text <p>Specialist respiratory services for severe asthma, along with urgent and emergency treatment for other serious complaints, have continued throughout the COVID-19 outbreak. In most cases people with severe asthma have been able to receive their medication at home instead of having to attend hospital through increasing home care support and via access to remote outpatient consultations for new patients.</p><p>Although clinical capacity was re-directed to support care of patients with COVID-19 and this need has reduced, trusts are also required to prepare for potential future waves of COVID-19 and this will affect the clinical capacity required particularly in respiratory units. Regions have oversight of the local plans developed by each trust.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 05/11/2020 12:20:51 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
