    Have you heard?

    Starting in Warrington, there are several NHS Trusts that are going to refuse treatment for OSA. I believe Warrington has actually implemented the decision already.

    GPs agree ban on operations for smokers and obese patients

    Exclusive GPs have signed off a series of sweeping referral restrictions by NHS managers that will bar smokers and overweight patients from being referred for surgery, as PCTs across the country bring in new cost-saving restrictions.

      It's time

      there were some lower cost options - when a full APAP setup comes down to the price of a TV or Laptop then more people will self treat with the likes of Intus and the world will be a safer place.

        I think we should all march on Parliament and sit on the buggers; that'll make them think twice.
        We've had the grey vote,the green vote and the pink vote; next we'll have the blobby vote.
