Bed blocking figures for Northamptonshire are twice as high as national average, new figures show Northamptonshire is one of the worst areas in England for "bed-blocking", a national report has revealed.

In June, the county had double the national daily average for the numbers of patients kept in hospitals and social care sites by "delayed transfer of care" (DTOC).

Northamptonshire also tied for third across England for the number of beds taken up by patients affected by DTOC. 

Meanwhile, in May, Northampton General Hospital saw 90 incidents of DTOC - near five times its target of 23 incidents a month. Northamptonshire Telegraph
