National Audit of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) in Scotland

CRAG (Clinical Resource and Audit Group), a committee chaired by the Chief Medical Officer, is the main forum within the Scottish Executive Health Department for the development of policies on clinical effectiveness. Until 1998 CRAGS main grant awarding body was the National Projects Committee (NPC). Following a review, the NPC was superceded by the Clinical Effectiveness Programmes Subgroup (CEPS).
The establishment of the Scottish Parliament in 1999 led to the Scottish Office becoming the Scottish Executive. As a result, the Scottish Office Department of Health was renamed the Scottish Executive Health Department (SEHD).
