Recommendations for Area Health Services include the review of current services in order to provide safe, accessible and effective rehabilitation for these patient groups in local communities. The document is accompanied by Vol 2 "Implementing Rehabilitation for Chronic Disease" GL2006_022, which provides information regarding resources that may be used in the delivery of rehabilitation for chronic disease.
