Level 1 Complex Specialised Neuro-Rehabilitation is commissioned by NHS England, with other neuro-rehabilitation services commissioned locally by clinical commissioning groups.

NHS England will be working with the Getting it Right First Time (GIRFT) programme to undertake a review of all inpatient neuro-rehabilitation services across England, to ensure that patients are getting the right access to high quality care. Once this review is complete, both NHS England and GIRFT will consider the findings and develop any required improvement plans.
