The wife of the BBC journalist Andrew Marr has criticised the level of care available to people who have had a stroke, once they leave hospital.
Jackie Ashley, a Guardian columnist, has written a blog about caring for her husband in which she praises the NHS - but criticises community care.
She said the intensive daily care in hospital was replaced by - at best - weekly appointments.
Campaigners said many survivors felt "abandoned" when they returned home.
