PE953, from Ms Jean Gall, on behalf of the Scottish Association for Sleep Apnoea, calls on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to increase awareness, promote proper diagnosis and treatment, and provide sufficient resources—including adequately funded sleep centres—to tackle the health problems that are associated with obstructive sleep apnoea.A working group of the Scottish intercollegiate guidelines network is considering this issue. Nanette, what should our course of action be?

Obviously, we should keep the petition open until we hear about the review of the SIGN guideline next year.Information that I have received over the years has suggested that facilities are a bit patchy across health board areas. It might therefore be interesting to seek information from health boards on what funding is available to cater for sleep apnoea sufferers and to provide future services. This is an important issue and, to raise awareness of it, we should find out what is happening at local level.

Those are sensible suggestions. Are committee members happy to accept them?Members indicated agreement.
