I have been contacted by a constituent who writes to say that his daughter, who is a hospital ward manager, in order to meet Government targets has been ordered to discharge patients against her recommendations when they are not ready. Many of these patients have had to be readmitted. Does the Minister share my concern over this news?

It may comprise of one or more finished consultant episodes. 3. A length of stay (LOS) is calculated as the difference in days between the admission date and the discharge date, where both are given.

[holding answer 15 December 2005]: Patients receiving specialist palliative care are excluded from the system of charging for delays in discharge. In addition, many patients who have rapidly deteriorating conditions or who do not have long to live will continue to be the national health service's responsibility and as such will not trigger any payment from social services. The NHS is responsible for ensuring the patient is safe to discharge, however, some patients will have a strong preference to return home to die. If they, or their carer, need a care package, including services from social services which is not in place by their discharge date, social services will be potentially liable for a charge.
