Rehab, integration?
PA Wellington Rehabilitation-.of the dis-abled-should become a fully integrated part of the Health and Social Welfare Departments, hospital boards, and voluntary, agencies, jsays Mr Byrdfr Buick-Constable, who was recently elected chairman of Rehabilitation International New Zealand. Although rehabilitation was embraced as a concept within accident compensa-
tion, it was not a welldeveloped part of the health and social welfare system, he said. It should be incorporated in the brief of both departments, and there was also scope for rehabilitation for nori-accident victims to be developed by hospital boards, particularly in extra-mural programmes. This was valuable in developing the concept of independent living for disabled persons. •
