Allow all asthmatics to receive a 12 week shielding letter
For all asthmatics to receive a letter advising them to stay home for 12 weeks so they can stay safe
I have asthma myself and have been unsure of what I should be doing as every health care professional has a different opinion, I have been informed by my GP that because I have not been hospitalised in the past year I do not fall under the high risk category, and that he does not allocate letters to people, but the asthma website has different information. I have heard many story’s just like mine, were doctors aren't taking responsibility for their patience and telling them to either call 111 or look at the asthma in web site
