UK's failure in stroke care scandalous - Lamb
8 May 2008


Mr Norman  Lamb

Commenting on a report released today that reveals the UK is lagging behind other developed nations on stroke care and is far from meeting its targets, Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary, Norman Lamb said:

"It is scandalous that, despite spending a lot more than other European countries on stroke care, UK recovery rates are so much worse.

"Lives are being lost and recovery is severely impeded by the failure to act quickly enough to improve the service.

"Despite the recent stroke strategy, it’s taking unacceptably long to modernise the service."
