More evidence (should you need it) of the costs of the ongoing crisis in the NHS; between 10-20% of people having a stroke either die unnecessarily or end up with a disability due to shortages of consultants in stroke units or delays in treatment related to staff shortages.
Its not like we don't know how to treat strokes, rather this suggests a failure to coherently manage the NHS workforce (linked to budgetary & political pressures) costs patients dearly.
