It has been estimated that every year 8 per 100 000 of the population suffer severe head injury, 18 per 100 000 suffer moderate head injury and 250–300 per 100 000 suffer mild head injury (Medical Disability Society, 1988). It is likely that 100–150 per 100 000 of the population have significant disability as the result of head injury (Department of Health, 1994).
