Well oiled machine?
Discharge to assess is promoted in the revised CHC framework as a way to improve later life care and not many people will want to linger in Hospital for longer than is necessary but this LGO case highlights the failings of assessing after discharge and the challenges in getting a MDT together in good time.
People are being discharged without information and advice and often to a home of the NHS discharge teams choosing, unfortunately it is too late when they realise it was an unaffordable long term option and when CCG funding is pulled out the Councils get the fall out and the blame! nICE TO SEE THE lgo KEEPING THEM HONEST.
