An extra £4.6 billion a year in Barnett Consequentials on top of the block grant means a record £41 billion a year for the Scottish Government.

The National Health Service (NHS) is taking a number of practical steps to support those who suffer from migraines including the use of headache diaries for patients to record the frequency and pattern of their attack and support hotlines for General Practitioners to access specialist advice.<\/p>
Patients presenting to 111 with migraine related symptoms will be assessed by the NHS Pathways Clinical Decision Support System and referred onwards depending on their symptoms. This ranges from immediate ambulance through to self-care depending on the presenting symptoms.<\/p>
