  35. Report -

    115,000 people a year die from lung disease in the UK, equivalent to 1 person every 5
    minutes, and every day, 1500 people are newly diagnosed with lung disease. Moreover, the
    health outcomes for people with lung disease have not improved over the last 10 years to the
    same extent as other diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. The mortality rate
    (the number of people per 100,000 dying) of people aged under 75 from respiratory disease
    in Walsall is 48.1, which is significantly worse than the national rate of 34.2.

    2
    There were 5040 emergency hospital admissions for respiratory disease in 2018/19 in
    Walsall. Hospital admissions due to respiratory conditions are a major factor in the winter
    pressures faced by the NHS and lung disease costs the UK more than £11 billion per year
    including the impact on the NHS (£9.9bn), and wider economy through working days lost
    (£1.2bn).

    This report is the culmination of engagement work undertaken and co-ordinated by Paul Higgitt,
    Senior Engagement Lead, Healthwatch Walsall from the beginning of 2020 when individual patient
    stories were recorded followed by three virtual patient engagement events held during June and July
    2020. This work has been supported throughout by Phil Griffin, Walsall Together Service User Group
    Chair. A significant number of diabetes patients have been involved in this work and there has also
    been some input from Diabetes Specialist Nurses and also Diabetes UK.

    On this occasion, the Healthwatch have carried out a project that looks at the experiences of people who were more likely to be digitally excluded than the general population in accessing primary care during the Covid-19 pandemic and its associated restrictions. Unlike the HWE project we did not interview GP practice staff as at the time the project was being undertaken local GP practice staff were taken up with the rollout of the Covid vaccination programme and felt unable to take part.
