A Stirling woman who had a stroke at the age of just 30 is lending her voice to a campaign to safeguard a vital treatment that significantly reduces long-term disability.
More than 150 stroke clinicians have backed a call from charities Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland (CHSS) and the Stroke Association asking the Scottish Government to reinstate £7million to the national thrombectomy service funding.
An open letter to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care ahead of the Scottish Government budget, says a 50 per cent funding cut and a recruitment freeze is a mistake.
