The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what action it will take to ensure that all health boards include epilepsy care and treatment in their health improvement plans and develop a managed clinical network of epilepsy services.
The answer
As was made clear in the debate on 17 May, the concept of Managed Clinical Networks has the potential to bring about significant improvements in services for those with epilepsy. The Scottish Executive Health Department has therefore been encouraging clinicians and the voluntary sector to develop the idea of such Networks.Five health boards already include epilepsy in their Health Improvement Programmes.
