Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, for what reasons the previously agreed Review of the Clinical Pathway for Sleep Apnoea is no longer included on NICE's priority lists.
The Review of the Clinical Pathway for Sleep Apnoea is included on the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s priority lists and scoping will begin in the new year.
There are no plans of establishing a national programme to provide fast-track treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea for vocational drivers.
