Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to reassure families that relatives discharged from hospital into home care will be adequately supported, given the current staff shortages.
We are making available £500 million to support safe and timely discharges from hospital and can be used to boost workforce capacity. We committed a further £200 million to fund short term National Health Service step-down care packages and wrap-around primary and community health services to support patient’s recovery.
