Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many of the patients discharged early through the North Tees discharge pilot described in the NHS England board papers for 2 February were readmitted inside 60 days; and what was the equivalent national average for such early discharges and readmissions.

NHS England does not hold a dataset that nationally monitors readmissions for this cohort but has plans to collect data in the near future which will allow review of, and feedback on, this metric.
