Ms Olive McCafferty:

I can answer that. Many of the patients I presume Ms Fox spoke about arrive as outpatients. Outpatient clinics are not set up like inpatient wards, so those patients have to carry cylinders of oxygen that weigh about 2.5 kg each. Four cylinders weigh approximately 10 kg and they are already breathless. Unfortunately, outpatient clinics are not set up for oxygen delivery and that is standard. I am lucky to work in the lung transplant clinic. It is the only outpatient clinic I have ever been in that has oxygen set-up. It is new and it is the only clinic I have seen in the country that has oxygen.
