A New Picture from FOI Analysis
By James Armstrong, Director of Marketing & Innovation
Over the last decade, England’s residential rehab sector has been quietly shrinking. Rehab placements have fallen by almost 50%, and the number of available services has declined by a similar proportion. At the same time, service quality and regulatory expectations have never been higher. Yet despite this increased scrutiny, very little is known about the true size, shape, or functioning of England’s state-funded rehab system today.
To help fill that gap, Phoenix Futures submitted Freedom of Information (FOI) requests to every local authority in England, asking for details of budgets and expenditure on residential rehab over the past three years. What we received back offers one of the clearest pictures in years of how rehab is funded in England, who controls the money, and what it means for the future.
