Congratulations to Chris Bryant MP who has been awarded a Knighthood in the New Year Honours List.
Sir Chris’ knighthood is, in no small part, due to his tireless work with brain injury charities.
Since 2017, Chris has chaired the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Acquired Brain Injury, leading to numerous debates in parliament and raising the profile of brain injury.
Sir Chris launched a Private Members Bill on Acquired Brain Injury in June 2021 – the Bill was due to have its second reading on 3rd December but following a question to the Prime Minister on 24th December a statement was issued by Gillian Keegan, the Minister of State for Care and Mental Health to confirm that a Panel Board would be established in early in 2022 to implement an ABI strategy.
At Reconnections, we are proud to have contributed to the government’s ABI consultation and look forward to the implementation of the new strategy.
