Half of stroke patients not getting necessary care, report warns – BBC News

Only half of Scots who suffered a stroke last year received the necessary care package, new figures show.

Under national targets, 80% of patients should receive a “care bundle” designed to maximise survival and recovery.

However a Public Health Scotland report showed the figure was 50% in 2022 – when the number of reported strokes rose to 11,257, up from 11,055 in 2021.

The government said it was committed to ensuring stroke patients “receive the best possible care”.

Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland dubbed the report a “wake-up call” for ministers.

Public Health Scotland (PHS) also said fewer than two thirds of patients were admitted to stroke units within set time limits.
