Head Injuries

Mr. Evans
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many hospitals in Lancashire offer specialist services for the rehabilitation of patients with severe head injuries.

There are two units within Lancashire providing specialist rehabilitation services to patients with severe head injuries. These are the Preston neuro-rehabilitation centre, part of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals National Health Service Foundation Trust, and the Rakehead unit in Burnley, part of the East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust.
