Written Question · S5W-16729 · Session 5
What plans it has to increase the availability of multi-disciplinary therapy for people with cerebral palsy at all stages of their life.
The question
To ask the Scottish Government what plans it has to increase the availability of multi-disciplinary therapy for people with cerebral palsy at all stages of their life.
The answer
The role of the Scottish Government is to provide policies, frameworks and resources to NHS Boards to allow them to deliver services that meet the needs of their local populations. Within this context, the actual provision of healthcare services, including staffing, is the responsibility of local Boards, taking into account national guidance, local service needs and priorities for investment.
There are a number of professionals who can offer advice and treatment to help people with the condition to be as independent as possible, for example Physiotherapy; Podiatry & Occupational Therapy. Access to these services is dependent upon the individuals need and the Scottish Government expects people with Cerebral Palsy to be able to access these services as they require them.
