That the Parliament welcomes Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Week, which takes place from 14 to 20 September 2020; understands that approximately 2,500 people in Scotland are living with IPF and that, across the UK, an estimated 6,000 are diagnosed with it every year; acknowledges that it is an incurable and life-limiting condition, which results in a build-up of scar tissue in the lungs, restricting normal breathing; understands that current treatments can only mitigate the symptoms; notes the view that more research is needed to help people with the condition; encourages patients who are experiencing a persistent cough or breathlessness to contact their GP, even during the current COVID-19 pandemic, and praises the British Lung Foundation for raising awareness and funding vital research to improve diagnosis and treatment, which it believes will allow people to have the chance of experiencing a better quality of life.
