		<description>Hi Matthew, 

Great to see this week's massive media coverage on the CPAP appraisal. And well done on this site, I like what you're doing here. 

If GPs who read this wonder whether their patient has sleep apnoea or perhaps just suffer from severe stress, perhaps they like referring to the &lt;a href="http://www.sleep-tests.co.uk" rel="nofollow"&gt;Sleep Apnoea Test&lt;/a&gt; site I built a while ago. It uses the Epworth Sleepiness Scale along with supplemental questions to compare the patient's symptoms with that of known sleep apnoea patients. 

For CPAP info, I invite all to have a look at the UK CPAP Portal at www.cpap.co.uk

Keep up the good work Matthew. With volunteer web efforts like yours and mine many more of the hundreds of thousands of undiagnosed people may be able to get suitable treatment.

Regards,
