Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will make an assessment of the adequacy of support available for patients recovering from a stroke in west London.

The national service model for an Integrated Community Stroke Service (ICSS) was published in February 2022. It sets out the transfer of care of stroke survivors from hospital, and provides home-based stroke rehabilitation through a specialist multidisciplinary team structure. It provides an integrated seven days per week service, providing early supported discharge, high-intensive and needs-based community stroke rehabilitation and disability management

NHS England have developed a plan to address gaps in intensity community stroke therapy within the West London boroughs of Ealing and Hounslow and community services, including critical Early Supported Discharge teams within the borough of Harrow. NHS England plan to have common community stroke service offers across North West London for 2024/25.
