The Health Service Executive’s proposed National Stroke Strategy 2021-2026 has been clinically approved by the HSE Chief Clinical Officer Clinical Forum at its meeting in July 2021 and the HSE inform me that it will be reviewed by the HSE Executive Management Team at its meeting of 23rd November, 2021. This will inform the date for publication with regard to organisational strategy, planning and implementation. Funding will also be considered in this context.
As the provision of stroke facilities in hospitals is a service matter, it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
