According to the Daily Air Quality Index there were ‘moderate’ to ‘very high’ levels of air pollution in some areas of the United Kingdom between 7 and 8 April and between 15 to 25 April 2019. The figures for emergency hospital admissions for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in this period are not available in the requested format and a comparative assessment has not been made.

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 and protect nature.

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 COPD deaths inform the National Health Service about what constitutes good care, and encourages the development of appropriate services for people with asthma.

The Chancellor is in regular contact with the Prime Minister on a range of issues.

The UK is committed to tackling climate change and we are a world leader in clean growth. That is why last week the Government began to legislate for a net zero emissions target by 2050. The UK is the first major economy to put such a target in legislation.

At the same time, the Chancellor has accepted the recommendation of the Committee on Climate Change to conduct a Review into the costs of decarbonisation. This will be the world’s first comprehensive review by a finance ministry into the costs of transitioning to a net zero economy. The Review will consider how to achieve this transition in a way that works for households, businesses and public finances, as well as the implications for UK competitiveness.

The Government will not be issuing a response to a consultation on the strategic priorities of a previous Government.

A Strategic Policy Statement is a discretional policy tool, introduced under the Energy Act 2013, for use by my rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State.

The Government has absolute confidence in Ofgem, as the independent GB energy market regulator, to carry out its statutory objectives and functions, to protect existing and future energy consumers, and to deliver a raft of policies focused on decarbonisation, ensuring security of supply and lowering costs for consumers.

Preventing stroke is one of NHS England’s priorities and, following the publication of the NHS Long Term Plan in January 2019, NHS England has been working closely with the Stroke Association to develop a national stroke programme to be delivered within the timescale of this plan.
