Asthma deaths shoot up by a quarter in just five years Hundreds of asthma patients are dying unnecessarily every year because NHS treatment is trailing behind most of Europe, experts say.
The UK’s asthma death rate is 50 per cent higher than the European average, and more than three times higher than the Dutch figure.
The number of Britons who suffered a fatal attack increased by 24.6 per cent from 1,151 in 2011 to 1,434 in 2015.
Experts blame complacency among both medical staff and patients in the routine care of the condition, prevention and during attacks. The Daily Mail
