Concerns about shape of proposed new head injury service in Renfrewshire

Concerns have been aired about the shape of a new head injury initiative planned in Renfrewshire amid claims service users have been "left in the dark" on the issue.

The veteran politician, who represents Johnstone South and Elderslie, told the Paisley Daily Express: "First of all, we've got concerns about how the decision to cease funding was made. It was done in the background without any knowledge of elected members or IJB members. "There are so many unanswered questions. We'll need to wait until we get further information but in the meantime the people who use that service have very much been left in the dark."

In a statement to the Paisley Daily Express, depute council leader Jacqueline Cameron, an SNP representative for Johnstone South and Elderslie, said: "Ultimately both the amendment and the board paper were asking for the same thing, funding for a head injury service. Where the amendment was flawed, was in terms of commissioning and procurement, we could not guarantee exact replication of the service.
