23 Dec 2021To ask the Scottish Government by what date it expects Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) guidelines that relate to cerebral palsy in adults to be released.
The answer
SIGN guidelines are produced by Health Improvement Scotland’s (HIS) evidence directory. The Scottish Government does not commission the production of SIGN guidelines and are not aware of plans from HIS to publish a SIGN guideline for adults with Cerebral Palsy (CP).
The member may find it helpful to view the documents contained on this evidence page of HIS’s website, which provides information and guidance on how requests are assessed, and how and evidence-based decisions are made.
The Clinical Priorities Team met with representatives from the third sector organisation, Cerebral Palsy Scotland on 8 December 2021 to discuss the ongoing development of care services for people with CP.
