Im wondering two things here -

1. Did he have to wait on the NHS waiting list like us mere mortals have to do ????
2. Why was'nt cpap therapy offered to him ??? or perhaps he is using cpap ???

80% say nasal surgery does not work for them !!!!

Surely a cpap is the answer .

Nasal surgery does not always relieve snoring and sleep problems, a survey has suggested. Labour leader Ed Miliband underwent surgery to correct a deviated septum earlier this week - aimed at curing his sleep apnoea. But a survey of 2,000 patients by the British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association found 80% said surgery had not worked for them. A spokeswoman said their survey showed other treatments help more.

Mr Miliband is currently recovering at home after his operation before leaving for a summer holiday.

.....

A spokeswoman for the BSSAA said: "For snoring and sleep apnoea, there are other treatments that are non-invasive. We advise trying everything else, including CPAP which is the gold standard treatment, before surgery.
