Decision details

(i)  Agreed that there was a clear case for change for stroke rehabilitation care;

(ii)  Agreed that stroke rehabilitation care and outcomes needed to improve;

(iii)  Agreed to continue to engage with Barking and Dagenham Clinical Commissioning Group on improving stroke rehabilitation care; and
