Hospitals: Discharges
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many and what proportion of patients at (a) Pilgrim Hospital Boston and (b) Peterborough City Hospital were discharged to social care in each of the last three years.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
NHS England publishes data on the number of patients discharged by discharge pathway, at a trust level, which is available at the following link:
Pathway 1 is discharges home or to a usual place of residence with new or additional health and/or social care needs. Pathway 3 is discharges to a new residential or nursing home setting, for people who are considered likely to need long-term residential or nursing home care.
