Proposed changes to stroke rehabilitation services: a consultation for Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge
The population is growing and changing and the CCG need a stroke rehabilitation system that will provide good quality care for people now and can also care for more people in years to come. To do this, we think we need to make some changes.
We want to make stroke rehabilitation services more joined up with each other and focused on what individual people need, regardless of where they live. We believe doing this would mean people receive specialist care, tailored to their needs, which would help them to recover better and more quickly.
The NHS in London has transformed its system of hospital stroke care by introducing a centralised model of care. This has saved hundreds of extra lives each year and hugely improved people’s chances of rapid and lasting recovery following a stroke. Now, the priority is getting the next step – rehabilitation – right, so that people recover well and live the fullest life possible.
We want to know what you think about our proposals – whether you agree or disagree, and if there is anything else you want us to consider. Please do take a look at the consultation document and questionnaire, which are on our websites:
www.barkingdagenhamccg.nhs.uk/stroke

If you have any further questions or would like to arrange for someone to come and talk to you about our proposals, please contact haveyoursay@onel.nhs.uk or call 020 3688 1615.
We will be attending and running events throughout the three boroughs talking about the proposals and why we think stroke rehabilitation services need to change – please see our websites for up-to-date details.
We’d appreciate your support to tell people about the consultation and encourage them to respond – we want to hear from as many local people as possible.
