Bed Blocking

The request was successful.

Dear Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust,

In The News today (9/5/17) there was an article about bed blocking costing the Trust £7.6m of government funding.

Please can you advise for the financial year 16/17 how many people were classed as bed-blocking, who was responsible and split this over the length of time they were bed blocking by weeks

A simple table showing councils/relevant body holding up the discharge down the side and weeks along the top and number of patients in the data will suffice eg

Body____1 week__2 weeks__ 3 weeks etc
PCC______10_______5________ 4_____
HCC______10_______5________ 4_____
SCC______10_______5________ 4_____

Thank you

Yours faithfully,

John Smith

Thank you for the response, but the attached PDF appears to just be a link to a copy on your server rather than the document itself so it is not available to open.
