The question
To ask the Scottish Executive how many people it expects to be users of secondary services for neurological conditions other than stroke by (a) 2015, (b) 2020 and (c) 2025.
The answer
This information is not held centrally.
The introduction to the NHS Quality Improvement Scotland clinical standards for neurological health services notes that neurological conditions currently account for one in five emergency hospital admissions and a high proportion of severe and progressive disability in the population.
The Neurological Services Task and Finish Group, the outputs of which were issued as CEL 3 (2010) on 4 February, considers it likely that an annual growth in demand of at least 5% a year will be seen over the next five years or so. Consideration is being given to commissioning a piece of public health work to gain a better understanding of the likely rise in future demand.
