Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 July 2017
455. Deputy Peter Burke asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the findings of The Burden of Stroke in Europe Report (details supplied); his plans to put in place a multi-year plan regarding the service and staff deficits in stroke services here; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31415/17]
View answerI am aware of The Burden of Stroke in Europe Report launched on 11 May, 2017 by Stroke Alliance for Europe. The Deputy will be aware that the Changing Cardiovascular Health; National Cardiovascular Health Policy which covers the period 2010 - 2019 deals with all aspects of cardiovascular health including stroke.
As the Deputy's question in the main deals with service matters, I am referring it to the Health Service Executive for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
