title: Rehabilitation part 3: setting up a service.
abstract: WHEN THE government announced that £600 million would be provided for rehabilitation services (DoH 2000) providers calculated that this would mean each health authority having over £6 million a year to spend on rehabilitation in the independent and voluntary sector. If the average cost of a rehabilitation bed was £400 a week the local health authority would be purchasing 288 beds for 52 weeks a year. A more realistic figure might be £500 a week, meaning the health authority would be purchasing 230 places a year.
