Abstract
Data on aphasia management were collected by questionnaires to UK speech and language therapists. Returns representing over 90% of health districts were obtained. Variation amongst districts is evident in levels of staffing for the adult neurological case load, and in speed of response to referral, frequency and types of treatment available, and in other forms of support for patients and carers. Although individual therapists or districts are able to adhere to some of the professional recommendations for a ‘quality’ service, few are able to provide this high level of care in all aspects of aphasia management.
