<p>Due to challenging financial circumstances, Local Authority non-recurring money
that had previously funded the service is now unavailable and the contract with the
Stroke Association to deliver the Stroke Recovery Service in Portsmouth will end on
31 December 2023. NHS England has made no assessment of the potential impact of the
closure on treatment of stroke patients in the local catchment area</p><p><br> Local
residents have been kept informed of the change and been provided with information
about alternative support. The National Health Service provides treatment and rehabilitation
after stroke, and assessment of social care needs through the local authority, and
general practitioner practices will be able to offer support through their Social
Prescribers, Care Coordinators and Health and Wellbeing Coaches.</p>
