Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for what reason statistics on discharge delays are not broken down on a daily and weekly basis for the 2023-24 financial year.
NHS England have committed in the urgent and emergency care recovery plan to explore a new metric on delayed discharge, and this will be communicated in due course. There are no plans to change the way statistics on discharge delays are published in the 2023/24 financial year.
