“This is really good news because it’s only if we tackle all the various issues that we can deal with this hidden epidemic,” says Chris Bryant, “Which has been made considerably worse with coronavirus.” Bryant says the issues surrounding acquired brain injury effect every government department, including the Ministry of Defence, Department for Education, Ministry of Justice, as well as the criminal justice system, the welfare system and local government and housing. In a meeting yesterday with Bryant and the UK Acquired Brain Injury Forum (UKABIF), Cabinet Minister Gove committed to bringing together a task force to discuss issues relating to acquired brain injury, which include ensuring adequate support and rehab.
