Care and Support

Proceeding contribution from Kevin Barron (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 July 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Care and Support.

In response to the White Paper, the NHS Confederation has said that people are

“staying in hospital longer…because the right services are not in place to allow them to go home when they are medically fit to do so.”

Given that it is estimated that delayed discharges from our hospitals cost some £18 million a month, what action are the Government taking to get rid of that waste of public money?
