Resumption of spirometry testing
Dear Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board,
I request the following information from Betsi Cadwaldr University Health Board.
1 . Since the outbreak of covid-19 in the UK in 2019 , GPs within the Arfon area are refusing to refer patients for Respiratory investigation at secondary care level for spirometry diagnostics to determine adult onset Asthma / COPD / other respiratory disorders citing that spriometry testing is unavailable at secondary care level.
When precisely will spirometry testing be started within secondary care at the principal sites of Ysbyty Gwynedd, Ysbyty Glan Clwyd and Wrexham Maelor Hospital.?
Yours faithfully,
Gareth Parry
