To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-38295 by Jenni Minto on 18 June 2025, when it expects to publish a plan on service expansion.
As indicated in the answer to S6W-38295, Scottish Government officials and NHS planners have been asked to work at pace on developing a plan for the next steps for service expansion. While there is not a specific date for publication, we expect the next steps for service expansion to reflect work to align the governance and delivery of thrombectomy with similar national programmes. This alignment with wider health service planning aims to support oversight of thrombectomy planning and encourage greater collaboration between NHS Boards in delivering this vital service.
