I raised a matter here recently regarding representations I got from the Irish Lung Fibrosis Association, ILFA, and I got a briefing from Mr. Mitchell on it. I have received a response from the ILFA stating the information contained in the briefing is incorrect. The ILFA is saying lung fibrosis patients are actively excluded from the vital pulmonary rehabilitation exercise programmes in the community as these are available to COPD and asthma patients only. The ILFA is seeking a review of this situation. Its members do not have access to these programmes. I refer to an email I got on the subject today. I had sent on the briefing note I got to the organisation and this email came back in response. I ask that this issue be looked at.
