New stroke services to be implemented Posted or Updated on 2 Apr 2020

The governing bodies of the three clinical Commissioning groups (CCGs) that plan and buy health services in Coventry and Warwickshire have approved plans to implement new stroke services.

This decision was taken after full consideration of the outcome of the public consultation which ended on February 2, 2020. Recommendations from the public consultation will be taken into account in the implementation phase of the model.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond.   We received a lot of feedback from patients, the public and other interested parties including responses to the online survey, the paper questionnaire or during a series of meetings and events.  A total of nine public consultation events and 16 community outreach events took place, and we received 336 completed questionnaires.

This feedback was collated into the Developing stroke Services in Coventry and Warwickshire Public Consultation Report which is now available on the CCG websites and on the stroke consultation website: https://www.strokecovwarks.nhs.uk/Home​

Next steps

Implementation of the new model will be put on hold until the current pressures on the NHS caused by COVID-19 are over.

Thank you for your support throughout this process, which has helped us greatly to shape the final model. We will keep you informed as to when we intend to start the implementation process.
