BLOW THE WHISTLE CAMPAIGN AND BREATHE EASY WEEK

That this House welcomes the British Lung Foundation's Breathe Easy Week from 11th to 17th June 2007, which aims to highlight the UK's poor record on lung disease; regrets that death rates from lung disease in the UK are twice the European average; recognises that earlier diagnosis and improved treatment and care will both help those affected live longer healthier lives and reduce the burden on the NHS; welcomes the British Lung Foundation Charter, which sets out 12 priorities for improving lung health in the UK; calls on hon. Members to Blow the Whistle on lung disease in their constituencies; and calls on the Government to work with the British Lung Foundation to take action on the points in the Charter.
