Our thanks to @AndyMcDonaldMP who highlighted the lack of neurorehabilitation beds at James Cook Hospital during Prime Ministers Question Time yesterday. There is a national shortage of Neurorehabilitation inpatient provision. In 2018 the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Acquired Brain Injury's Time for Change report stated that 14,600 beds were needed of 4,600 available at that time. It is likely the situation is now worse. Neurorehabilitation is noted to be one of the most costs effective interventions available to the NHS with positive financial impacts on both health and social care. There is evidence that rehabilitation for patients with complex disabilities represents value for money. A recent study showed for every dollar spent on inpatient rehabilitation in this cohort, an estimated $A91 was saved in ongoing care costs. (lnkd.in/evBcRhKv) We are calling for improved access to inpatient and community neurorehabiltation for people with acquired brain injuries. Our thanks to Andy McDonald for highlighting this issue - we look forward to hearing the outcome of his meeting with the Minister. #Neurorehabilitation #BrainInjury #RightToRehab #RehabWorks

Wow. It’s 2024 and I’ve just had to crawl along the floor of this LOT Polish airline to get to the toilet during a flight back from Warsaw as “we don’t have onboard wheelchairs. It’s airline policy”. If you’re disabled and you can’t walk this is just discriminatory.
