A Lincolnshire hospital says it has started to make improvements ahead of being awarded the lowest national score for services to stroke patients. A Royal College of Physicians survey gave Grantham and District Hospital only 25, out of a possible 100, points.
United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust appointed a consultant physician, with a special interest in care for the elderly, to modernise stroke services.
It has also provided five beds for a better service in south Lincolnshire.
The trust said the data for the audit was collected between April and June 2004, just weeks after it appointed the new specialist.
