Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many patients have suffered a stroke in hospital after admission for other conditions in each month from May 2021 to April 2022.

The information requested is not collected in the format requested. While data on the number of finished consultant episodes in 2021/22 is currently being collated and audited, this does not record the number of individual patients. A person may have more than one episode of care within the same stay in hospital or in different stays in the same year.
