   Quote from the Chief Executive of the Stroke Association:

"These new findings lay bare the formidable challenge facing local health services, not only in the UK, but also in countries around the world, to tackle a looming stroke epidemic. The scale of disability, long-term illness and premature deaths, caused by stroke, looks set to more than double by 2030 globally. The findings are a wake-up call to Governments across the globe".
