Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Apart from the approval of the resources to recruit the teams, the challenge essentially is the recruitment. Apart from the consultant-led part of the team, these teams predominantly comprise allied health professionals across the core therapies, including speech and language therapy, physiotherapy and occupational therapy. They generally require therapists with some experience or a capacity to develop a specialist interest experience in neurorehabilitation. In the general pool, we are competing against ourselves for the children's disability network teams; the child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS, multidisciplinary teams; the inpatient hospital teams; the enhanced community care teams; the chronic disease management teams; and the integrated care of older people teams. I do not want that to sound facetious but a limited number of therapists will graduate and that is what we are competing against.
