Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services – in the Senedd at 2:36 pm on 3 July 2019.
I understand the call that's been made by the Stroke Association; I understand the reason why they made the call. But, again, we've just had a clinically led review of the amber category and it did consider this. The Stroke Association are part of the work that is being done to take that forward. And, again, if the evidence changes, then I'm more than prepared to look again at that evidence and whether it's still the right decision. But at this point in time, it would just be dishonest for me to say that I'm going to look again at a recent review that's taken place when, in the last few months, I've reported to this Chamber on the work that I've already outlined. That does not mean that that is a decision for now and evermore; it means that, at this point, the evidence doesn't support the call that's been made by the Stroke Association. But, as ever, we should be prepared to learn and recognise, when evidence changes, to shift decisions to make sure that we're delivering the right service for people right across the country.
