The question
To ask the Scottish Government what resources and capabilities it has identified as requiring further enhancement to ensure that all NHS boards can reliably deliver stroke care in line with the Scottish Stroke Care Standards.
The answer
The Scottish Government recognises that barriers to meeting the Scottish Stroke Care Standards vary between NHS Boards and may reflect factors including geography, workforce availability, service configuration and local population need.Through the Stroke Improvement Plan, we work with NHS Boards to identify and address these challenges and support continuous improvement in stroke services. NHS Boards are expected to address areas where their services do not yet meet the Standards.
