NHS to Prioritise HGV drivers who diagnose with sleep apnoea

Petition Details

I want the government order NHS and DVLA to give priority for driver's who suffer from sleep apnoea

Additional Information

HGV driver's job is dangerous and DVLA revoked licence. So we need a system to allow us to get treatment sooner than expected.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

This is very much a clinical/operational decision - and there already exists advice within the NHS and DVLA about how to prioritise medical care for people with OSAS.
