The Care Quality Commission have published the findings of a major review of stroke services in England which show a lack of consistency across the country. The review has highlighted areas with considerable room for improvement as well as those where services are of a good quality.
However, the national report reveals inconsistencies regarding:
•peoples’ transfer from hospital to home
•access to specialist community-based rehabilitation services, such as speech and language therapy
•support for carers
•information given to people around the time they leave hospital
•how well services take account of the communication needs of people with aphasia
The review shows that whilst many areas have considerable scope for improvement, other areas are providing good quality services on most aspects of stroke care
