Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what proportion of people discharged or transferred under the Transforming Care programme were readmitted to in-patient facilities within (i) one month, (ii) three months and (iii) one year of their discharge.

Figures for inpatient admissions within the month by admissions status are attached. Admission status is calculated for all admissions within the period and looking to see if the patient had previously been receiving inpatient care. It provides information for readmissions in the last 30 days, 90 days and within the last year.

The Assuring Transformation collection covers England, but includes patients whose care is commissioned in England and provided elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Data is submitted monthly so coverage varies month-on-month. Therefore, caution should be taken when interpreting the data.
