“Respiratory disorders are very common and are responsible for considerable avoidable morbidity and mortality. The respiratory data catalyst offers the potential to harness the UK’s outstanding data assets to improve respiratory outcomes for the UK’s population and as such I am delighted to support this important, potentially transformative effort.”
