Experts say sleep disorders are a particular problem in the North East because of other health issues.
BBC Look NorthDr Sophie West, who leads Newcastle's regional sleep service, said disorders were a particular problem in the region because of other health issues.Blaydon Labour MP Liz Twist, who co-chairs the all-party parliamentary group on sleep, said it was a "serious health issue".
She said the region had "particular health care inequalities and people can find it harder to access healthcare for all sorts of reasons related to unfair societal impacts". Dr West said she needed "more resource for my sleep clinic and I know all the people in the hospitals near me need the same". Speaking to the BBC's Politics North, Liz Twist said it was "sad that the North East again is really at the forefront at some of this but really good that we have doctors... and other people looking innovatively at how we tackle sleep problems".She added that she agreed that more resources were needed.
