Mental health and delayed discharge
To whom it may concern
I am looking for information about the number of people (not beds) who have been affected by delayed discharge from mental health care beds. I wanted to know:
1a) How many patients who have been declared fit for discharge were occupying mental health care beds from 1 January to 31 December 2020? What percentage of the total number of patients is this?
1b) How long were these patients waiting to be discharged? What percentage had been waiting for:
• For one month
• For six months
• For one year
• For two years
• For three years
• More than three years
Please provide this information as an excel spreadsheet
2) Please also provide this data for the year ending 31 December, 2019 and 31 December, 2018.
I am requesting this information under freedom of information legislation. Please let me know if this information is unclear and needs clarification, or is already publicly available.
Yours sincerely
Karin
Yours faithfully,
Karin Goodwin
