Written Question
Hospitals: Discharges
Friday 31st March 2023

Asked by: Liz Kendall (Labour - Leicester West)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many delayed discharges there were from NHS (a) elective, (b) non-elective, (c) high dependency, (d) standard ward and (e) other beds in February 2023.

The information requested is not held centrally. NHS England publishes information about the daily numbers of patients who no longer meet the criteria to reside and this is broken down by the care and support they receive subsequent to being discharged. They also publish a weekly snapshot of the number of additional days total patients have remained in hospital since no longer meeting the criteria to reside. This information is available on the NHS England website.
