The SleepCube was a private purchase, as way back then my local sleep clinic assessed patients by filming them overnight, whilst wearing an oximeter, and only issued CPAP machines without humidifiers. There was no remote monitoring and…"
Sleep Apnoea Forum Bringing Help + Support to the Patient
Take Action for Sleep Apnoea Please
**IMPORTANT REQUEST**
ng 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.
Thank you!
Here's the link to the form www.blf.org.uk/osa-action

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.

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.

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.
