Discharge Review

The request was successful.

Dear Healthwatch Derbyshire,
Please can I have the details of the discharge review that took place at Chesterfield Royal Hospital this was in the Derbyshire Times in June 2015 and would take approximately 6 months before ready to publish findings.
Thank you

Yours faithfully,

Rachel Ogilby

Hi Rachel
The discharge information you refer to was part of a piece of work we did with 10 care homes some time ago now, looking at 'What Good Looks Like'. The issues with discharge from hospital came up as part of this work and can be found on line at:
http://revamp.healthwatchderbyshire.co.u... look on page 5 of the document for the findings around discharge.

The press release we sent out about this, did not refer specifically to Chesterfield Royal Hospital, but the Derbyshire Times, changed it to concentrate on Chesterfield Royal. We have no control over this. I have attached the original press release we sent out. As you will see, it does not say any particular hospital was good or bad, just that we had raised the issue with them, and they were looking into it.

Also on the website under Enter and View findings you will find the individual care home reports that made up the findings of the Executive Summary 'What Good Looks Like'.

All our information is in the public domain on our website.

If you require any further information please do not hesitate to get in touch.
