I think this is just a first step.
They want actual sleep data.

My husband did this too.

After waiting all that time to get an appointment and the hassle involved to get to a hospital at such a distance you must have been really fed up and disbelieving. Can’t believe you were not informed of what to expect and the reason for the appointment. I hope after returning the wrist contraption you will have a worthwhile outcome and your problem can be identified and treated.

I managed after three referrals and eighteen months to get a referral to my nearest NHS Sleep CLinic for what is probably Sleep Apnoea

I live in Weston-super-Mare, have a good local hospital. In the same group is the large Bristol Royal Infirmary. To get to my local hospital I get a bus outside my flats and within 15 minutes am getting off at the Main Entrance. To get to BRI is nearly impossible by public transport, my daughter has to take time off work and drive the 25 miles there.
Was sent an appointment for 10,00 at BRI for Monday and Wednesday this week. Two mornings of my daughter's precious holiday time. Had to drive through rush hour on Monday, arrived at 9.50 am = receptionist gave me the wrist contraption for me to wear for two nights, then supposed to do same journey on Wednesday to return it. Do not see anyone or talk to anyone, just collect and return this contraption.
What a waste of time,, etc . Surely this could have been sent amongst many other deliveries etc. to my local hospital for me to collect/deliver. Instead of a 50 mile round trip along congested roads.
