HC Deb 14 March 1994 vol 239 cc524-5W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales which hospitals in Wales employ multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams for treating local patients who have suffered severe head injuries.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

Details of the information requested are not held centrally. However, the major neurosurgical units at Morriston hospital and the University hospital of Wales, Cardiff, have multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams for neurosurgical conditions, including brain injury. These regional centres also treat local patients. Neurosurgical patients from north Wales go to Walton hospital, Liverpool. Post-acute rehabilitation may take place closer to patient's homes, in local hospitals or in the community, but information on local provision is not held centrally.
