To ask the Scottish Government whether NHS boards currently offer those who survive a stroke with an early multi-disciplinary assessment of their needs, and, if so, what monitoring takes place of these assessments.

To ask the Scottish Government whether the benchmark descriptors used for the Scottish Stroke Care Audit have remained consistent in all reports published since 2019.

The Scottish Government would expect the Scottish Stroke Care Audit (SSCA) to aim to raise the Scottish Stroke Care Standards to drive improvements when a standard is being met or exceeded by most services. In line with this, the SSCA standard for CT brain scanning was raised in 2020. Changes in standards are highlighted in the annual Scottish Stroke Improvement Programme (SSIP) reports.
