The National Strategy for COPD (2010) recommends that all people diagnosed with moderate, severe or very severe COPD should be eligible for pulmonary rehabilitation, which implies around 716,000 (62%) patients. The Department of Health assumed that expansion of pulmonary rehabilitation services will be phased over 3 years, from a 33% expansion in 2010/11, 66% expansion in 2011/12 and 100% in 2012/13.
