The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what step he plans to take to increase access to rehabilitation health services in the (a) community and (b) acute health sectors.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The Government understands the importance of having effective rehabilitation services available to help people recover from an injury or illness and regain the skills and confidence they need to live independently.

Improvements in intermediate care and reablement support services will be part of a wider approach to transforming community-based services and will link to the Government’s vision of building an integrated neighbourhood health service.
