Hospitals: Leicestershire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what information he holds on the number of hospitals in Leicestershire that have not followed the appropriate discharge procedure for parents in the last five years.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
Statutory guidance on hospital discharge procedures that was published in January 2024 sets out how local areas should plan and implement hospital discharge to support safe and timely discharge for all individuals. The guidance is available at the following link:

Local areas should provide the monitoring of discharge quality and performance to ensure that the agreed hospital discharge procedures are being followed consistently.
