Today, I spoke with representatives from different organisations involved with the Right to Rehab Coalition, a collective of organisations committed to ensuring rehabilitation is accessible to everyone who needs it and delivering a ‘Right to Rehab’ in Scotland.

Rehabilitation can play a vital role in helping people recover, manage long-term conditions, regain independence and improve their quality of life. Yet access to the right rehabilitation at the right time is not always available to everyone who needs it.

We need to ensure that people can access appropriate rehabilitation services when they need them, regardless of where they live. Rehabilitation plays an important role in working towards better outcomes for people across Scotland, this week and always.
