Building on the learning and success of the previous National Stroke strategy, NHS England will work with partners across the system to lead a programme which will drive the next step change in the care stroke patients receive.

Further investment in higher intensity models for stroke rehabilitation will ensure patients have the best chance of returning to employment or independence, experiencing reduced disability and improved support for cognitive and psychological need.</p><p> </p><p>Further information on funding will be set out in the implementation framework for the Long Term Plan, due to be published in the spring.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 14/02/2019 17:30:56 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
