Roundtable debate
ALDE deputy Liz Lynne has launched a new initiative to help the estimated 30 million asthma sufferers in the EU. The project, called HARP, aims to provide patients with "clear and detailed" information about the disease.  Speaking in parliament in January 2009, she said, "As an asthma sufferer myself, I feel that there is a real need to make sure that information is made readily available."  The MEP chaired a roundtable debate which heard the results of a major study into asthma. It shows that 30 million people, or six per cent of the EU population, have asthma.
