Stroke Sufferers

I, too, congratulate the hon. Gentleman on securing this very important debate. If I may, I should like to follow up the intervention from the hon. Member for North-West Leicestershire (David Taylor) with regard to community care after a patient has been treated in hospital and is back at home. There seems to be great inconsistency across the country. There are some excellent examples of outreach services, particularly in the north-east, which I have seen myself, but that does not seem to be the case everywhere. I hope that the hon. Member for Nottingham, North (Mr. Allen) will come on to that issue.
