HC Deb 21 November 2000 vol 357 cc162-3W
35. Mr. Burns

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the provision of healthcare for those suffering from head injuries. [137671]

Mr. Denham

Each year some 1,000,000 people with head injuries attend hospital. Treatment depends on the extent of the injury and can, where appropriate, include specialised rehabilitation. The aim of treatment is, wherever possible, to restore the person to the state of health they enjoyed before the injury happened.
