Options include: • Presence of one or more rehabilitation professionals in the primary health care setting • Presence of one or more health professionals trained in a protocol-based package of rehabilitation interventions in the primary health care setting The definition of primary health care should be in line with common understandings3 and the same definition should be used nationally.

These measures are used as tracer criteria for availability of rehabilitation services.
