Over 20 thousand people per day were ready to be discharged last week, but 63% stayed in hospital
I’m Matt Rosser with news that the proportion of medically fit patients leaving England’s hospitals has fallen to the lowest level since November 2021. Over 20 thousand people per day were ready to be discharged last week, but 63% stayed in hospital. The rate varies across the country with some hospitals in the North West of England only able to discharge 4% of medically fit patients. Hospitals have faced a growing struggle in recent months to discharge people who are well enough to leave, often because there is not enough social care available.
