Today’s #Budget2026 brings changes that could affect stroke survivors . While there weren’t a lot of big announcements on health and care this time, there are a few announcements that may be relevant to stroke. Here’s what we see and why it matters:
Thank you @MuniraWilson for hosting the #WorldStrokeDay debate in Westminster today, and for shining a light on the many challenges that so many stroke patients and survivors are expected to navigate alone, once discharged from hospital.
📢We need to #MakeStrokeAPriority.
Investing in stroke prevention, treatment, and rehab NOW could save the NHS tens of billions every year by 2035.
More importantly, it will save lives.
Join @MuniraWilson live on Parliament TV later today as they discuss the need to #MakeStrokeAPriority this #WorldStrokeDay. 👇
Thanks @morton_wendy for a useful discussion with us and @phil_woodford on our @TheStrokeAssoc#CPC25 stand. Looking forward to working together to make stroke a priority in parliament
Great to speak to @MartinVickers with @phil_woodford at our @TheStrokeAssoc#CPC25 stand. Thanks for looking into local data and working with us to make stroke a priority
Did you know every day 240 people wake up to the impact of stroke?
I know the impact it has on a person and their family - like it’s had on ours
I’ve pledged to make stroke awareness a priority in Stratford and Bow and Parliament
You’ll always have my support @TheStrokeAssoc
Brilliant to meet with @AshleyDalton_MP at our @TheStrokeAssoc#Lab25 stand. Discussed how we can work together to reduce stroke death and disability. Looking forward to continuing the discussion
Thank you @FoysolChoudhury for highlighting the urgent need to expand thrombectomy services for stroke patients across Scotland. This postcode lottery needs to end. @TheStrokeAssoc@StrokeScotland
