The Minister acknowledged the seriousness of the issue raised by Chris Bryant, praising his commitment to addressing concussion and brain injury in sports. He highlighted progress made by various national governing bodies such as the Rugby Football Union and the British Horseracing Authority. The Minister also mentioned positive steps taken by football authorities like the FA's introduction of two concussion substitutes per match and guidelines for reducing head injuries among young players. However, he acknowledged that more needs to be done, particularly in areas like sharing research data across sports organisations. He committed to further discussions involving stakeholders from different departments within government and emphasised the importance of collaboration between sports bodies, player associations, NGOs, and other relevant parties.
