Motion text

That this House recognises that the major burden of stroke is chronic disability; recognises that stroke is the third most common cause of death, the second most common cause of dementia, a frequent cause of depression and the most common cause of epilepsy in older people; notes with concern that stroke research is seriously under-funded and lags way behind heart disease and cancer; acknowledges that the Stroke Association is a major charitable source of research funding for stroke but is only able to fund about one in 10 of the grant applications received; regrets that other research funding agencies do not afford stroke the priorities that it merits; and calls on the Government and other funding agencies to take account of the high burden that stroke places on individuals and the community and to re-examine the priority that they give to stroke research so ensuring that resources available to work in this area increase in full recognition of the projected rising trend in the incidence of stroke
