       Evidence of deliverable from implementation of 24 hours Asthma
       service

       As stated under ‘Quality outcomes delivered’, the
       service allows more children with asthma to be managed at home
       rather than in hospital. Following implementation 17% (34) of
       patients attended A&E (5% admitted to children’s ward)
       compared with 45% (90) attending A&E (30% admitted) before the
       initiative was implemented.
       Of the 200 patients that were initially admitted to the asthma
       outreach service, 14% (28) have been discharged as a result of
       fewer asthma exacerbations and increased parental confidence to
       manage their child’s condition. This has allowed more
       children to be included in the service.
