The Scottish Government has announced additional funding of £240,000 for services which help people living with chronic pain.
The money has been allocated to expand pain management services through the Chronic Pain Winter Support Fund which will help 13 Scottish Government-funded projects across Health Boards, third-sector and other partners deliver enhanced care. It will go towards a range of services including the bladder and pelvic pain management programme, support for chronic hip, knee and back pain and support to help people remain physically active.
Public Health Minister Maree Todd said: “Living with chronic pain can be incredibly difficult and we are determined to improve services for all those affected.”
He continued: “Health Boards have continued to make progress in restarting chronic pain services during extremely challenging circumstances over the last 18 months but the unprecedented impact of the Covid pandemic means that many people are waiting for treatment.
“The additional resourcing provided through the Chronic Pain Winter Support Fund will enhance the capacity of pain management care to will help maintain the health and wellbeing of those affected by chronic pain in the months ahead.”
