Findings Relatively low numbers of AHP’s for population against national average Relatively low numbers of AHP’s for population against national average –Unmet need or –Need provided by generalist workforce? Variablity in specialist service provision between localities Variablity in specialist service provision between localities –Consider referral pathways Setting - 53% Acute figures indicate slightly higher then national average cancer rehab services in community Setting - 53% Acute figures indicate slightly higher then national average cancer rehab services in community –Care closer to home?
