Abstract
We can expect 100 patients with muscular dystrophy to develop respiratory failure in England and Wales each year, so non-invasive ventilation services probably need to be able to provide for 0.2 new patients per 100,000 population annually. Respiratory services also need to provide adequate monitoring and early treatment of infection in these patients.
