York Central MP Rachael Maskell visited the Woodlands Neurological Rehabilitation Centre on Wednesday.
Ms Maskell met with service director David Williams to discuss the healthcare landscape and future developments at Woodlands, which is part of Active Care Group.
Various services were explored, including tracheostomy care, for patients with complex respiratory needs.
Also discussed were Woodlands’ future plans for outpatient care and respite services.
Ms Maskell, who formerly worked as a physiotherapist in the NHS, observed the physiotherapy equipment currently on loan from bespoke rehabilitation provider, and Active Care Group company, Neural Pathways.
Ms Maskell said: “This rehabilitation unit explained how it was able to take patients out of York Hospital to free up beds while providing specialist and intensive rehab to patients.
“I was shown round the extensive grounds on the site, which could support further health interventions for this patient group.
“All patients should be able to access the very best of care.”
Mr Williams said: “It was an absolute pleasure to have Rachael visit, to be able to show her the service and discuss the future developments at Woodlands.
“It was also hugely refreshing and exciting to hear how important patient care, effective funding, and regulation are at the focus of the government’s national and local initiatives in supporting the best health services for the future.”
