A 24/7 Thrombectomy Service

A 24/7 Thrombectomy Service
That this Assembly acknowledges that thrombectomy is one of the most effective medical interventions ever discovered; further acknowledges that despite the hard work of health service staff to develop the thrombectomy service it is unacceptable that less than half of eligible patients in Northern Ireland receive thrombectomy due to lack of staff, funding and resources; recognises that 24/7 access to thrombectomy is essential to reducing disability after stroke; further recognises that the Stroke Action Plan recommendation of moving to a 24/7 service by the end of 2024 should be prioritised; and calls on the Minister of Health to commit to the expansion of the thrombectomy service with multi-year investment, to tackle the stroke workforce shortages, invest in innovations and progress stroke transformation to create efficient treatment pathways as a matter of urgency.
