For all our communities we must improve the standards of care we provide and the outcomes our patients experience. We also need to address ongoing staffing challenges that make it difficult to deliver the high-quality service our population deserves. Currently, our stroke services do not meet clinical standards and we do not have seven-day specialist cover. This can lead to patient outcomes that are not as good as they could be. This is why we need to change the way stroke services are delivered so they are safe, sustainable, accessible and kind for patients and staff.
