The National Stroke Foundation has published a new ranking of Australian federal seats by the number of residents who have suffered a stroke. The data compiled by Deloitte Access Economics with the financial backing of pharmaceutical group Boehringer Ingelheim show that half of the top 10 electorates are located in New South Wales. Specifically they cover the coastal region from Byron Bay to North Shore in Sydney. There are some 12,000 fatalities due to stroke nationwide each year
