Background
The development of clinical standards for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) services builds on our previous work on long-term common conditions.
We are developing these in response to matters raised by patient groups, the Scottish Government and in the Audit Scotland Managing Long-term Conditions Report.
