Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps he is taking to ensure that examples of good practice and better care pathways for the treatment of transient ischaemic attacks are disseminated throughout the NHS.

The Strategic Clinical Networks (SCNs) bring together clinicians from across health care settings and the wider health and care system in 12 geographic areas across England. The SCNs share best practice and promote initiatives around their core service areas which include cardiovascular disease (renal disease, diabetes, cardiac disease and stroke, including transient ischaemic attacks). The SCNs hold regular meetings to enable communication and information sharing.
