Introduction 1.1 Background to the National Managed Clinical Network As the human brain controls all our thoughts, feelings and actions, both voluntary and involuntary, when it is damaged the consequences are often variable and complex. Acquired brain injury (ABI) often leads to a mixture of physical, communicative, emotional, and behavioural changes with profound consequences for the individual and their family. The person with such complex disabilities requires expertise traditionally based in medicine, mental health and learning disability services but does not fit neatly into any of these categories and so may be denied access to appropriate treatment. Brain injury rehabilitation needs a specialist approach that can deal with the combination of problems arising from ABI. ABI rehabilitation is patient or family-centred and involves joint working with social work, educational, vocational and voluntary agencies as well as health professionals.

    SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT Issued on behalf of The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland Not for Publication, Broadcast or use on Club Tapes before 0001 Hours on 26 May 2016 Recommendations for councillor numbers and wards submitted to Scottish Ministers The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland has submitted its recommendations on councillor numbers and wards for each of Scotland's 32 council areas to Scottish Ministers. These recommendations arise from the 5th Reviews of Local Government Electoral Arrangements which began in February 2014. The recommendations provide for 351 wards and 1219 councillors across Scotland, an overall decrease of 2 wards and 4 councillors relative to existing arrangements. Under the recommendations, representation of the electorate within council areas will be more evenly shared between councillors and across Scotland there will be greater equity in electoral representation. Ronnie Hinds, Chair of the Commission, said: "Today we have submitted to Scottish Ministers our recommendations for electoral arrangements which we believe are in the interests of effective and convenient local government across Scotland. These recommendations set out the number of councillors for each council area and the boundaries of the wards they will represent. We are grateful to councils and to the public who responded to our consultations over the last two years. Their input has been invaluable in shaping our proposals and while we must take account of our obligations under the legislation and consider the interests of the whole council area, we have been able to take on board many of the views expressed. The legislation which governs our reviews places equality of representation at the heart of what we do and we have delivered a set of recommendations that significantly improves electoral parity across Scotland and so provides for fairer local democracy and more effective local government ." 1 A summary of the recommendations for each council area is contained in the appendix to this release.
