Written Question · S4W-10845 · Session 4
What its position is on establishing a managed clinical network for children with chronic pain.
The question
To ask the Scottish Government what its position is on establishing a managed clinical network for children with chronic pain.
The answer
The recently published benchmarking report on chronic pain services recognised there are gaps in the provision of children’s services for chronic pain. The Scottish Service Model for Chronic Pain applies to everyone living with chronic pain.
The National Chronic Pain Steering Group will continue to work with Boards to take forward implementation of the Scottish Service Model for Chronic Pain ensuring that plans reflect the needs of both adults and children. It is anticipated that any service improvement groups/Managed Clinical Networks established for Chronic Pain will work to improve services for all regardless of age.
