Welsh elections: standing up for Welsh lungs
At some point in our lives, 1 in 5 of us will have a lung disease. Across the UK, millions more are at risk. As the only UK charity looking after the lungs of Wales, here's what will make the biggest difference to people living with lung conditions.
To improve lives, we need to do 4 things:
- Better prevent lung conditions
- Better diagnose lung conditions
- Better treat lung conditions
- And help people live better with lung conditions
There are simple things we can do. And you can pledge to do some of those things below.
Together, we can build a cleaner, greener, healthier future here in Wales. Contact your local candidates and urge them to support our manifesto and take our pledges.
Pledge 1: prevent it
I believe the next Senedd must work to deliver a Clean Air Act for Wales so we can all breathe clean air through healthy lungs
How we can prevent lung disease
Pledge 2: diagnose it
I believe the next Senedd must roll out a nationwide programme for lung screening across Wales, so the best diagnosis is available to everyone
Pledge 3: treat it
Our health is paramount. We must have the best care available. The next Welsh government must deliver a new respiratory health delivery plan.
Pledge 4: live better with it
