Respiratory disease and function HSE 2010 • Why chosen? • New DH standards on identifying and treating chronic respiratory disease due 2010 • Need baseline data then monitoring progress • How chosen? • Proposed by JHSU • Funded by DH • How measured? • Revised questionnaire (previously conducted in 2001) • Objective measurement of lung function
