#WorldStrokeDay

This week, ahead of #WorldStrokeDay , the government revealed that it did not intend to fund the #NationalStrokeStrategy as previously promised.

#Stroke survivors require and deserve more.

We won't stand for lives lost and damaged needlessly.

A failure on the Government's part to fund the National Stroke Strategy as promised, may lead to more stroke units closing around Ireland, meaning additional lives being lost to #stroke and a reduced quality of life for stroke survivors.
