Dear Brent Teaching Primary Care Trust (PCT),
Do you currently commission the below services:

An evidence based Pulmonary Rehabilitation programme?

An early discharge service for patients admitted to an acute trust with an exacerbation of COPD?

A prevention of admission service for patients with an exacerbation of COPD?

If you do not currently commission these services do you have plans to in the future?

If you currently commission the above services, when is the date for re-tender?

Yours faithfully,
