Answered by Michael Matheson on 19 Nov 2013 · 14 days after it was lodged, on time

In April 2013, the Scottish Congenital Cardiac Network (SCCN) was established as a National Managed Clinical Network to seek to improve services for children and adults with congenital heart disease. The SCCN will wish to consider learning opportunities, good practice spread and consistency in approach, as appropriate, with other National Managed Clinical Networks covering a number of different long-term conditions.
