The Government recognises the profound impact that brain injuries can have on an individual and their loved ones, as well as the case for national action to improve the lives of people who have experienced an acquired brain injury (ABI). Ministers are currently considering next steps and the potential for a national ABI Action Plan and will set out next steps in due course.33% vibes
Verdict: RED (4/100)
The reply does not answer any of the four parts of this question. It says only that ministers are considering a national action plan on acquired brain injury and will set out next steps later. It contains no information on engagement with the DWP, DfT or DCMS ministers, and nothing on the fourth part, whose question text was incomplete in the record.
