Asthma UK Cymru Launches Report On The State Of Asthma Services And Care In Wales

Asthma UK Cymru is launching a report 'A Quarter of a Million Voices….and Counting', which outlines the challenges facing people with asthma in Wales today and highlights the need for asthma health services in Wales to be vastly improved.

Rates of asthma in Wales are among the highest in the world, with 1 in 12 adults and 1 in 10 children living with the condition. The country also has some of the highest hospital admissions for asthma in the world, with more than 4,000 admissions every year.

While key improvements to the lives of people with asthma are highlighted in the report, new research reveals that:

- An alarming 75% of people with asthma in Wales today do not have a personal asthma action plan, yet many of these people wish to have one.

People with such a plan are four times less likely to require a hospital admission for their asthma and the 'Service Development and Commissioning Directives: Chronic Respiratory Conditions' specify that by September 2008, all patients in Wales with chronic respiratory conditions should have individual care plans in place developed between the patient and their healthcare professional.

Asthma UK has personal asthma action plans that can be used as a quick and effective way to assist the introduction of care-plans across Wales.

- People with asthma living in deprived areas of Wales, such as Blaenau Gwent, are most likely to feel that their asthma is out of control, to say that the condition has limited their lives and to have lower expectations of how their asthma treatment can help their condition.

- Despite the advances in asthma medicine and treatment over recent years, 24% of people with asthma feel there is nothing they can do to limit their asthma symptoms and one in seven feel the condition has a negative impact on how other people see them.

Janet Pardue-Wood, National Director of Asthma UK Cymru says: 'While free prescriptions and smoke-free legislation have helped to ease the burden on the lives of people with asthma in Wales, our report clearly shows there is much more work to be done. When asthma is not controlled effectively, the effects can be devastating and in some cases fatal, which is why improving healthcare and reducing the hospital admissions of the 260,000 people with asthma in Wales is a key aim for Asthma UK Cymru. Our new report "A Quarter of a Million Voices….and Counting" aims to celebrate key policy changes that have made a positive impact on people with asthma in Wales, and highlight how we can further improve their lives.'

Abigail Foster, who has asthma, says: 'I'm proud to have been part of Asthma UK Cymru's campaign for free prescriptions, which has made such a difference to people with asthma in Wales. Although my asthma is quite well controlled, I still need six medicines at the moment to do this. If I still had to pay for all these medicines it would soon add up. And if someone like me, who earns an ok wage and makes sure they've got their asthma under control, thinks twice about the cost of their medicine, what about someone struggling financially?'

The report will be launched at Asthma UK Cymru's third birthday event at the Senedd on Tuesday 24 June. Asthma UK Cymru will be joined on the evening by children from Lansdowne Primary School who will demonstrate the impact key policy changes have made on people with asthma during their play 'Asthma in the limelight'. Guests will include Assembly Members, healthcare professionals and people with asthma.
