This is how many patients are sometimes stuck in the Royal Preston and Chorley Hospital even though they are fit to leave
Sometimes the equivalent of four wards of patients are occupying beds at the Royal Preston and Chorley and South Ribble Hospital when they no longer need acute care
“So there is a real workforce shortage in the social care sector and, as a consequence, it’s difficult to get the traction in terms of patients going home - [and that means] the length of stay goes up for those patients and the system just becomes slowed up. The Post understands a pre-pandemic county council-run scheme known as “Home First” - which assesses a person’s care needs once they have been sent home rather than while they are still in hospital - is back up and running.
