Safely home: What happens when people leave hospital and care settings? When discharge goes wrong, it comes at significant cost, both to individuals and to the health and social care system.
Whilst the financial cost of this problem is recognised, not enough is known about the human cost. We undertook this inquiry to bring the true emotional and physical impact of this persisting problem to light. With the help of 101 local Healthwatch, we heard from over 3,000 people who shared their stories with us about their experiences of the discharge process. Healthwatch England
