The Department does not hold figures on funding allocated to rehabilitation for specific diseases. People who have experienced sepsis and cancer have access to follow-up pathways with options for personalised healthcare to suit their individual needs, including a needs assessment, rehabilitation, and other services, such as physiotherapy, as deemed appropriate by their healthcare provider. NHS England is working closely with NHS@Home to ensure patients have the option to be monitored from the place they call home, including care homes, using virtual wards.
