This report took as its basis the current clinical evidence for stroke services, set out within the Intercollegiate Working Party for Stroke national clinical guidelines published by the Royal College of Physicians. These guidelines are reflected in the National Service Framework (NSF). The NSF stroke standard translates the guidelines and further evidence based practice into a four year plan and concludes with an expectation that every person who has a stroke will be seen by a specialist stroke team and have access to a specialist stroke service by 2004.

This Service framework for learning disabilities is one of a set of Service Frameworks which sets out standards for health and social care to be used by service users and carers, to help them understand the standard of care they can expect to receive in Northern Ireland. The Service Framework for Learning Disability aims to improve the health and wellbeing of people with a learning disability and their carers and families by promoting social inclusion, reducing inequalities in health and social wellbeing and improving the quality of health and social care services. The Framework sets standards in relation to: Safeguarding and Communication and Involvement in the Planning and Delivery of Services; Children and Young People; Entering Adulthood; Inclusion in Community Life; Meeting General Physical and Mental Health Needs; Meeting Complex Physical and Mental Health Needs; At Home in The Community; Ageing Well; and Palliative and End of Life Care. Each standard is accompanied by a statement on what the standard is intended to achieve. It also sets out the evidence base and rationale for the development of the standard and the performance indicators that will be used to measure that the standard during the three year period 2013 - 2016. The Framework has been developed with the involvement of people from all aspects of health and social care, including patients, users of services and their carers. (Edited publisher abstract)
