I thank the groups for the presentations. They spoke of the Love Your Lungs campaign, sleep apnoea and the various different diseases. Have they evidence of what has worked in other countries? Deputy Regina Doherty stated she has never heard of the Love Your Lungs campaign. I have not either. There is something wrong. It is probably our fault as much as the foundation's. What can we here do to help the foundation? I also thank Senator Crown for informing the Joint Committee on Health about lung diseases today.
