THE stroke service at Scarborough Hospital has met the required standards.

Following an accreditation visit by the Strategic Clinical Network in November 2013, the stroke service at Scarborough Hospital has been granted provisional level 2 accreditation (full stroke service except neurosurgery).

Dr Greg Black, lead for stroke services at the NHS Scarborough and Ryedale Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), said: “The CCG is delighted with the progress so far and will continue to monitor developments through regular meetings and analysis of the quarterly data.”
