title: Single referrals for inpatient and community rehabilitation.
abstract: The introduction of a single system for inpatient and community rehabilitation stemmed from a desire to simplify access to rehabilitation services. It was intended that in turn this would ensure that more patients were assessed for their suitability. A specialist multidisciplinary team skilled in assessment would decide which model of rehabilitation would meet individual needs.
