What do we want?” He presented a picture of reduced lung health services in Tasmania. There is a need for more medical lung specialists in the north & north-west of Tasmania and for more public hospital facilities for lung health services around the whole state. There was a lively interaction with the audience about regional differences in home oxygen allowances and emergency services. Thank you to all of you who attended, particularly those who traveled from afar. Thanks to all our special guests and to our national sponsor, OxyCare (BOC Gases) which was represented by Rod Greatbatch. The cost of admission and some of the travel costs for those travelling from the South & North-West were partly offset by the national sponsorship from OxyCare.

We plan to repeat the event in 2002, perhaps in late October, and again on a Saturday at LGH. The event can be held in the South or the North-West if one of the other groups would like to arrange a venue!

Anyone with a topic they would like to hear about next year should contact Kathleen Burgess (page via LGH switch on 6348 7111 ). We will find speakers and information for the topic.
