5.  ACTIVITY AND PERFORMANCE

5.1.10  How many delayed discharges from acute hospital beds were there in the last three years for which data is available, by SHA and broad reason for delay? (Q49)

Answer

  1.  The information is shown in tables 49a to 49c.

2.  The Department is not in a position to answer the question fully as it only collected weekly data on the number of acute hospital beds on a voluntary basis as acute care is not always provided from an acute bed.
