Examination of Witnesses (Questions 120-122)
SIR
NIGEL CRISP,
KCB, PROFESSOR ROGER
BOYLE, PROFESSOR
IAN PHILP
8 FEBRUARY 2006
Q120 Greg Clark: Page 29, paragraph
2.8, the middle of that says: ". . . the number of community
stroke teams across the UK appears to be falling (31% in 2002
and 25% in 2004)."
Sir Nigel Crisp: That does not
appear to be what our perception was. Can we give you an answer
later to that?
Q121 Chairman: Also, perhaps, for
the sake of completeness, at paragraph 2.10 on page 29, which
is the need for improved co-ordination in health and social care
services, Sir Nigel, can we have a note on that?
Sir Nigel Crisp: Yes. [12]
Q122 Chairman: That concludes our
inquiry but may I say before we end, Sir John, that I am very
proud of what we achieved in this Committee with MRSA and I hope
we might achieve the same on stroke as we achieved on MRSA: raising
the public profile. I wonder whether you would consider bringing
this back to this Committee before the end of this Parliament
in order that we can bring Sir Nigel back in a couple of years
and see exactly what progress has been made. I am sure that if
you can save quite a lot of lives a year then this has been an
immensely important hearing. As Mr Clark said, this could well
be a historic document that you and your staff have created today.
Sir John Bourn: I will certainly
do that, Chairman.
Chairman: Thank you very much.
