Recommendation
We also recommend that the Government convene its own specialist group on concussion, drawing on campaign groups, relevant scientific expertise and sporting institutes to assess, every four years, the emerging science on this issue.

The government agrees with the recommendation and will task the “sports concussion research forum” to undertake the role of assessing emerging science on concussion, with its full brief and reporting timeframe to be defined.
