Acquired Brain Injury Parliamentary Group Reinstated

The All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Acquired Brain Injury has been reinstated following its annual general meeting.

APPG’s are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords looking at a particular issue, policy area or country.

Following the AGM on 28th February, UKABIF will continue to act as secretariat for the APPG which was established in 2017 to raise awareness of Acquired Brain Injury.

Sir Chris Bryant MP, who campaigned successfully to see the Government agree to implement a nationwide ABI strategy, will continue to Chair the APPG. Other members include:

●      Sir John Hayes

●      Liz Twist

●      Carolyn Harris

●      Christina Rees

●      Andy McDonald

●      Martyn Day

●      Tonia Antoniazzi

●      Baroness Brady

●      Baroness Morris of Yardley

●      Baroness Grey-Thompson

Chloe Hayward, Executive Director at UKABIF, said: “The APPG on ABI plays a vital role in raising awareness of ABI and striving to improve the lives of those affected by an ABI. We are pleased to continue to work closely with the APPG as secretariat and look forward to making further strides and improvements over the coming year.

“Chris Bryant and the other members are committed to working together to see better services and outcomes for people with an ABI and their families. There have already been positive changes but there is a real commitment to see more done across all policy areas.”
