enough lightweight Oxygen. The number of people buying Portable Concentrators

given by firms for not providing Liquid Oxygen. This Latest Article from

Holidays - Do we have the confidence to go away? My recent

that we had 24 hours to save the NHS. There are many in the Medical

So who deserves credit? The CF Trust
and members have taken a pro-active approach and have tried their
best. Our contributors have helped along with the BBC for the
Watchdog program. The Pharmacists in the PCT's along with others who
worked hard to help Patients. Those staff members who have worked silly
hours to get out supplies. The Local Press who found stories in their own
community. |
