    Hi Anne94175

    I am in the U.S. but here...the same medical supply places that supply Oxygen to the large facilities and hospitals also supply portable and stationary units to the home if Dr perscribed. I don't know how yalls laws differ....ladyjack51

      You're right the only info so far is the clinic has it  but they must supply it to the apartments too.  I never thought of getting a letter from my doctor but thanks for that  Anne
