Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Lung Health Promotion: Discussion with Irish Lung Health Alliance (7 Feb 2013)

Regina Doherty: Mr. Smith might tell us why. He also mentioned, and I hope I picked this up correctly, that apart from the statistics on male and female adults, a growing number of children are presenting. Why is that so?
