Coronary Heart Disease and Stroke: Strategy for Scotland

Last Updated: 28/08/2009

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and stroke are major causes of death and ill health in Scotland and were identified as a national priority in the mid-1990s. A CHD/Stroke Task Force, chaired by Professor Ross Lorimer, was set up in response to The Acute Services Review (June 1998). The Task Force was given the remit of drawing up proposals to improve CHD and stroke services in Scotland and has made 45 separate recommendations. The CHD/Stroke Task Force Report published its findings in September 2001 and all interested bodies were invited to submit comments by 31 December 2001.
