Background
Information:

The National Managed Clinical Network for Cleft Lip and Palate in Scotland.
Affiliated to the NHS Tayside Centre for MCNs.

In April 2000 CLEFTSiS was set up to bring together all the different health
professionals in Scotland who are involved in providing care for patients
between 0 and 20 years of age who have cleft lip and/or palate. The name
CLEFTSiS comes from "Cleft Services in Scotland".

The aim of CLEFTSiS is to make sure that the care of patients with cleft lip
and/or palate is based on nationally agreed standards and guidelines. Health
professionals who are a part of CLEFTSiS provide comprehensive health care,
co-ordinating local and essential services. Currently surgery when required
will be provided in Aberdeen, Edinburgh or Glasgow.
