Heath and care services under review in Devon is announced

You have to change the focus of these reviews to how fucking bad stroke rehab is. Bring up all these points And don't let them off the hook for their incompetence.
Doctors are failing stroke patients for these reasons:
1. 12% full tPA efficacy is a failure.
2.  10% full recovery is a failure.
3. No publicly available stroke protocols with efficacy is a failure.
4. Nothing to cure spasticity is a failure.
5. Nothing to cure fatigue is a failure.
6. Nothing to stop the neuronal cascade of death in the first week is a failure.
7. Not able to objectively and accurately identify stroke in the ER is a failure.
8. Nothing to prevent dementia is a failure. 
This focuses on costs, have them focus on results.

Today marks the first in a series of public meetings being held to discuss which 72 community hospital beds will close across sites in Exeter and East Devon - and more changes are on the way.
A new document has just been released giving greater detail of further draft plans to reshape health and care services across Devon.
The latest submission, as part of the Wider Devon Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP), has prioritised the following services for review following concerns, including over quality and sustainability ...

Stroke services (including hyper-acute and stroke rehabilitation).

Maternity (including consultant-led and midwife-led care)

Paediatrics and neonatology, (to be reviewed together given their inter-dependency)

Urgent and emergency services (focusing particularly on the acute hospital provision of accident and emergency and co-dependent services)

The first phase of the clinical reviews, beginning with stroke services, will start in mid-November and conclude in mid-January. Two further reviews on maternity, paediatrics & neonatology, and urgent and emergency services, will start in December and conclude in March.

As well as these large scale reviews, a number of smaller services will be reviewed because they are currently facing particular difficulties in remaining sustainable and safe due to workforce and other challenges.
The most urgent of these 'vulnerable' services to be reviewed are breast services, ear, nose and throat (ENT), interventional radiology, histopathology, neurology, interventional cardiology and vascular surgery.
Due to necessity, early work has started on neurology, vascular and ENT which needs to be extended to be Devon wide.
Any proposed changes will be subject to debate and challenge by the public, service users, local communities and their elected representatives, health and care staff and their trade unions.
