Discharge Summaries

The request was successful.

From: D Bird

30 January 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to request information about discharge summaries.
Specifically, I would like to ask:

- What standards for the timely issue of discharge summaries has
the Trust agreed with local commissioning bodies?

- What procedures are in place for monitoring the Trust's
compliance with the above standard?

- The number of discharge summaries issued on time by the Trust so
far in the 08/09 financial year and in any other period for which
data are available.

- The number of queries received from GPs or other primary care
staff about the late issue of discharge summaries.

I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours faithfully,

D Bird
