In a nutshell:

Torbay and Southern Devon Health and Care NHS Trust enabled provision of a community and community hospital-based stroke rehabilitation therapy service seven days a week. This development was based on feedback from staff, patients and carers. There was no additional cost involved in the redesigning of the service. Assessment of new patients have moved from being provided five days a week to six, including Saturdays. Ongoing rehabilitation is provided seven days a week.
