<p>No specific assessment has been made on the cost-effectiveness of community rehabilitation.
As the majority of rehabilitation services are provided locally, to support commissioners
in the delivery of high-quality rehabilitation care, NHS England has provided guidance.
In 2015, NHS England published ‘The Principles and Expectations for Good Adult Rehabilitation’
to support commissioners deliver suitable rehabilitation care locally. In 2016, NHS
England published further rehabilitation guidance, setting out a commissioning model
and the evidence base for delivering high quality, cost-effective rehabilitation services.
Both sets of guidance can be found at the following links:</p><p><a href="http://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/rehabilitation-comms-guid-16-17.pdf"

patients with complex rehabilitation needs, NHS England commissions specialised rehabilitation
services at a national level to an agreed service specification. These provide intensive
treatment and expert support.</p><p>To access the adequacy of rehabilitation access,
the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership, on behalf of NHS England, commissioned
The National Clinical Audit of Specialist Rehabilitation for Patients with Complex
Needs Following Major Injury. NHS England published three reports between June 2016
and April 2019, exploring service performance and outcomes for those receiving specialised
rehabilitation care. The reports highlight a range of positive performance results
as well as areas for improvement.</p>
