Let’s Make Stroke a Priority in Scotland, Stroke Association Campaign

Lodged by Michael Marra (Scottish Labour) Standard Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends the efforts of Stroke Association Scotland for its campaign, "Let’s make stroke a priority in Scotland"; recognises that, currently, around 130,000 people live with consequences of a stroke, and it is estimated that this will rise by a third to 175,000 people by 2035; acknowledges that around 10,000 people a year in Scotland have a stroke, devastating families and creating long-term care and financial issues for many of those impacted; understands that the campaign calls for the Scottish Government to deliver what the Association sees as five cost-effective changes to improve stroke outcomes, including establishing a 24/7 thrombectomy service; thanks Stroke Association for its hard work, including its help for survivors and those families affected, and wishes it continued success with its campaign.
