The answer

Answered by Nicola Sturgeon on 3 Mar 2008 · 18 days after it was lodged, on time

The most suitable vehicle for taking this forward is the national Managed Clinical Network (MCN) for Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). One of its main aims is to provide, in easily accessible formats, high quality information for people with ABI and their families and carers which is relevant to the different stages of the patient journey. One of the MCN''s working groups is identifying current practice related to information-giving and is in the process of collecting good examples of written information made available to patients and their families.
