Over 1,000 doctors involved in the care of people with lung disease have expressed "grave concern" about the future of NHS care for their patients.
They have signed a letter to the head of the new NHS Commissioning Board in England, Sir David Nicholson.
It says staff are "disappointed and angry" that efforts to improve care for people with lung disease and asthma might "be left behind in the new NHS".
The Department of Health said it wanted "maximally effective" local services.
As part of the government's changes to the NHS in England, networks of doctors and nurses who organise care for the big killer diseases at a regional level are being restructured.
