Answer
While my officials have completed an analysis of responses to ‘Reshaping Stroke Care – Saving Lives, Reducing Disability’, progress on the Reshaping project was paused in response to the challenges posed by COVID-19.
My department has now published a Strategic Framework for Rebuilding Health and Social Care Services. The Framework notes the impact of this pause on the Reshaping Stroke Care project, and sets out the process for rebuilding services. The way forward in respect of stroke services, including timescales, will be determined through this process.
