Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will meet with campaigners and the Rt Hon. Member for Rhondda to discuss reviewing provision of neurorehabilitation services throughout the country, particularly in cases of brain injury caused by carbon monoxide poisoning.

I would be happy to meet with the Rt. hon. Member for Rhondda and campaigners to discuss improving outcomes for those with brain injury caused by carbon monoxide poisoning.

NHS England has issued ‘Commissioning Guidance for Rehabilitation’ which provides a framework for commissioners to use service information, and a benchmarking tool, to specifically support reduction of variation in access to and quality of rehabilitation services.
