Janet Finch-Saunders, Member of the Welsh Parliament for Aberconwy, is encouraging as many residents as possible to complete the Life with a Lung Condition Survey! launched by Asthma + Lung UK Cymru.
With the current extreme pressures on the health service & emergency care, due to a rise in flu, covid & respiratory viruses, the aim is to get a better understanding of lung health in Aberconwy, and across Wales.
Commenting on the need for people to participate in the survey, Janet said:
“43% of all respiratory deaths happen during Winter.
“So to help change that tragic fact, it is necessary to improve the understanding of the current state of lung health.
“Through sharing information about what life is like with a lung condition, what your symptoms are, what care you receive, and how you live with it, you can help influence policy to bring about positive change.”
The survey should only take about 5 minutes to do and is completely anonymous.

Mae Janet Finch-Saunders, Aelod o’r Senedd dros Aberconwy, yn annog cymaint o drigolion â phosibl i gwblhau'r Arolwg Byw gyda Chyflwr Ysgyfaint! gan Asthma + Lung UK Cymru.
Gyda'r pwysau enfawr ar y gwasanaeth iechyd a gofal brys ar hyn o bryd, yn sgil cynnydd yn y ffliw, feirysau Covid a resbiradol, y nod yw cael gwell dealltwriaeth o iechyd yr ysgyfaint yn Aberconwy, a ledled Cymru.
Wrth sôn am yr angen i bobl gymryd rhan yn yr arolwg, dywedodd Janet:
"Mae 43% o'r holl farwolaethau resbiradol yn digwydd yn ystod y Gaeaf.
"Felly er mwyn helpu i newid y ffaith drasig honno, mae angen gwella’r ddealltwriaeth o gyflwr presennol iechyd yr ysgyfaint.
"Trwy rannu gwybodaeth am sut beth yw bywyd gyda chyflwr ysgyfaint, beth yw eich symptomau, pa ofal rydych chi'n ei dderbyn, a sut rydych chi'n byw gydag ef, gallwch helpu i ddylanwadu ar bolisi i sicrhau newid cadarnhaol."
Dylai'r arolwg ond cymryd tua 5 munud a bydd yn gwbl ddienw.
