The Network will link 41 regional and rural emergency departments to metropolitan stroke specialists via cutting edge AV technology and would be funded through Labor's $2.8 Billion Better Hospitals Fund.

Labor candidate for Parkes Jack Ayoub said Dubbo Base Hospital would be one of the 41 locations to benefit from the life-saving initiative.

Labor are committing $11.9 million to build the state-of-the-art network.

Mr Brook said the Network is vital for early diagnosis which would speed up access to thrombolysis - clot-busting medicine that must be administered within four and a half hours of a stroke to save a victim's life and help with recovery.

"If I had access to this network and then the medication when I had my stroke, instead of taking months to recover, I probably would have been up and about within a couple of weeks," he said.

"I have seen the difference fast access to thrombolysis has, I was like a baby, I was in a wheelchair, I couldn't feed myself whereas the stroke victim's I've seen who've had fast treatment are back in good health sooner.

"Having this network in Dubbo is a game changer for stroke victim's, we should have had access to stuff like this years ago, the bush always seems to miss out on things like this, and there is no reason we should."

Mr Ayoub said in 2019 there would be an estimated 421 strokes in the electorate of Parkes.

"The National Telestroke Network specialists will provide around-the-clock support to local clinicians," he said.

"Your postcode shouldn't determine health outcomes - but all too often they are. Labor wants to improve the health outcomes of all Australians - not just those who live in the inner city. The Australian people are sick of the Coalition cuts. They want investment in their hospitals, not more cuts."

Parkes MP Mark Coulton said he found Labor's announcement "perplexing."

"The Coalition has already committed $9.7 million to a 24/7 telehealth service for regional NSW stroke patients," he said.

"The service will deliver faster treatment to patients in regional NSW likely to have a stroke this year. The service will enable stroke patients to be assessed in regional hospital emergency departments by a virtual stroke physician.

"We've launched a comprehensive research effort to tackle heart disease and stroke with $220 million for a 10-year Mission for Cardiovascular Health which aims to improve health outcomes through prevention strategies, earlier detection and improved outcomes for patients suffering a heart attack or stroke."

Labor Senator for New South Wales Deborah O'Neill said people in regional and rural areas like Parkes are almost 20 per cent more likely to suffer - and die from - a stroke.

"That why we are committing $11.9 million to build a state-of-the-art National Telestroke Network," she said.

"Despite this, country Australians, like those in Dubbo, often cannot access life-saving technology to dissolve and remove clots because of a lack of stroke specialists and units in country areas.

"The National Telestroke Network will bridge this gap and save lives in the Parkes electorate and Dubbo."
