$200,000 boost for stroke rehab Projects at NHW to help patient recovery

I bet they didn't ask for guaranteed results from getting this money. Probably just more guidelines and processes. I hate to be the stick in the mud, but almost all additional funding for stroke never addresses the correct problems.

STROKE patients at Northeast Health Wangaratta are set to benefit from more therapy options thanks to $200,000 in State Government funding.

The funding was announced last week by Jaclyn Symes (MLC, Northern Victoria), with $144,000 to go towards implementing an Early Supported Discharge project over 18 months, and another $54,000 to go towards the Thomas Hogan Centre rehabilitation service.

“These are two very exciting projects being undertaken by NHW and the State Government is proud to be supporting such positive initiatives that will improve(not result in improved recovery)  patient recovery from stroke,” Ms Symes said.

“The government is putting patients first and ensuring stroke survivors can access the very best care, when they need it, closer to home. Note the weasel word, care, not results.

“Stroke survivors in Wangaratta will benefit from rehabilitation services that will enable them to enjoy a better quality of life.”
