£300k awarded to help patients with breathing difficulties in Merton
November 12, 2025A national fund which supports people with respiratory conditions has announced Merton Health as one of only nine winners.
Merton Health, which is the lead provider of primary care in Merton, has been awarded £300,000 from the Government’s Pathway Transformation Fund (PTF). It plans to use the money to support the diagnosis and treatment of people with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The Pathway Transformation Fund (PTF) can help providers overcome practical obstacles such as:
- Support set-up costs such as training and accreditation of staff.
Pathway redesign.
Providing funding for specialist nurses and clinical staff needed to implement a new part of the procedure.
Covering double running costs.
This work is a six-month project that forms part of the national Respiratory Transformation Partnership, which is a two year programme that the Health Innovation Network (HIN) South London is helping deliver.
