There are some 18 million people in the UK with allergic illness and inadequate services are available for diagnosis and treatment. AAA has initiated discussion with the Department of Health and the Allergy Alliance (the association of patient support organisations which AAA helped to found) to press for action. See correspondence exchanged to date with the DoH.
