Mechanical Thrombectomy
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 11 March 2026 to Question 117420, a) which areas have received funding to deliver 24/7 thrombectomy and b) the date by which they are expected to have 24/7 access in place.
- Answer
-
All thrombectomy centres have received funding aligned with individual provider readiness and implementation plans to deliver extended hours and 24/7 provision. Total recurrent national investment in mechanical thrombectomy in 2025/26 is in excess of £100 million.
A targeted approach to additional national investment 2026/27 was taken in recognition of disparities in historical investment due to provider readiness to achieve 24/7 provision.
This funding was targeted to the North East and Yorkshire, Midlands, and the South East regions to secure 24/7 access to service provision.
The approved funding was confirmed to regions in February 2026, to enable 24/7 service delivery from 1 April 2026.
