Sleep disorders
The Sleep Disorders Working Group includes medical specialists in the field of sleep disorders as well as a consumer advocate. The group has identified three key areas for improvement in Western Australia:
- current service delivery model in public hospitals and the role of the private sector
- maintenance and availability of equipment
- access to diagnostic services for country residents
The group is developing a draft model of care which is currently being circulated for comment prior to finalising.
