**IMPORTANT REQUEST**
For those in the UK, please consider filling in British Lung Foundation's online form which has just been released, to contact your local MP informing them of the potential health problems Obstructive Sleep Apnoea can present, as well as highlighting the comparatively low awareness of OSA there is, both among the general public as well as healthcare professionals. It also asks them to take appropriate action to draw attention to OSA in governments and parliaments across the UK.
Even if you don't have Sleep Apnoea, please fill it in and share this important action.

Great work Gary. Have been busy sending the link to all my social media sites. Please everyone consider hitting the Facebook, Twitter + other Share Buttons to get this viral.
Just filled it in, only takes a minute!
Sent it yesterday, got a reply from David Liddington MP's office a couple of hours later saying he had written to the Dept of Health.
Wow, that's brilliant news Bill and the first I've heard of a response. This is very encouraging, and I would urge everyone to pass the link to all their family and friends.

Just heard of another person who has received an email back from her local MSP, Mr Mike MacKenzie who is pleased to support this.
Hi,
I wrote a paragraph about my experiences of OSA to my MP, and appended the British Lung Foundation's form letter. I received a prompt reply through the post (attached).
Jonathan.
Great news Jonathan and thanks for letting us know. Can others let us know too if they get any feedback? Still waiting for mine here in Hull
Hi Kath
I recieved a letter from Karl Turner the MP for Hull East Costituency to inform me has written a letter to the Secretary of State For Health in support. Letter came end of last week so I am sure yours will follow soon as we have the same MP.
Hmm.... how come you got a letter before me? He'd better send me one as well

I just received a letter from Angela Eagle MP, with a copy of the letter she sent to "The Secretary of State for Health" Jeremy Hunt.
