Allergy affects 1 in 6 people in the UK and Asthma affects 1 in 12 of the population in the UK, with 5.4 million people currently receiving treatment. The UK has one of the highest prevalences of asthma in young adults in Europe and the numbers of children reporting asthma symptoms has risen six fold over the last 30 years. Asthma costs the NHS almost #1bn per year and it is estimated that at least 12.7 million working days are lost due to asthma each year. This health and economic burden on the nation emphasizes the importance of research that tries to understand the diseases. The current proposal for a Centre brings together a group of doctors and scientists to discover new ways to prevent, treat and cure allergy and asthma.

过敏症影响英国六分之一的人口，哮喘影响英国十二分之一的人口，目前有540万人接受治疗。英国是欧洲年轻人哮喘发病率最高的国家之一，报告哮喘症状的儿童人数在过去30年中增加了6倍。哮喘每年花费NHS近10亿英镑，据估计，每年至少有1270万个工作日因哮喘而损失。这种对国家的健康和经济负担强调了试图了解疾病的研究的重要性。目前关于建立一个中心的建议汇集了一批医生和科学家，以发现预防、治疗和治愈过敏和哮喘的新方法。
