Inquiry into Stroke Risk Reduction

The Health and Social Care Committee undertook an inquiry into stroke risk reduction during winter 2011. The terms of reference for the inquiry were:

To examine the current provision of stroke risk reduction services and the effectiveness of Welsh Government policies in addressing any weaknesses in these services, including:

•  scrutinising the implementation of the Welsh Government’s Stroke Risk Reduction Action Plan, including the extent to which action to raise public awareness of the risk factors for stroke has succeeded;
• identifying those areas where there are particular problems in the implementation and delivery of stroke risk reduction actions;
• considering the evidence for an atrial fibrillation screening programme being launched in Wales.

The consultation has now closed.
