Government shows 'striking poverty of ambition' on discharge delays A new report challenges the Government to address the scale and cost of delays in discharging older patients from hospital, concluding: "Patients and the NHS have a right to expect better."
It urges new measures to tackle discharge delays, which are bad for both patients' health and the financial sustainability of the NHS and local government, and finds there is a poor understanding of the scale of discharge problems, with official data substantially under-estimating the range of delays and the number of older patients affected.
