Dr. Susan Coote:

We are way behind international best practice. Belgium, for example,with a population of 10 million, has three rehabilitation hospitals that specialise in multiple sclerosis, independent of their rehabilitation hospitals for everything else. We are very far behind internationally in rehabilitation care. The World Health Organization's 2030 rehabilitation strategy says it is a basic right to have access to both inpatient and community neurorehabilitation. We only have one rehabilitation hospital. We do not have the managed care networks as set out in the rehabilitation strategy. There are different pieces in the puzzle and we are very far behind. There are world neurological rehabilitation conferences at which people present the data time after time on their successes. We are one of the countries that is considered way down the table on this.
