°ÅÀÖÊÓƵ for Care response to Government’s announcement of up to £250 million to speed up hospital discharge

10 Jan 2023


°ÅÀÖÊÓƵ for Care CEO Oonagh Smyth said:

The 1.5 million people working in adult social care play a key role in making sure people can be discharged safely from hospitals back into the community, and the extra £200 million announced to purchase care offers another way to relieve unprecedented pressures on both systems.

°ÅÀÖÊÓƵ for Care will continue to work with employers who have capacity, and other partners including Integrated Care Boards, to make sure this extra funding is used effectively and allows people who are fit to be discharged from hospital a route to return to their homes safely and as quickly as possible.
