The CQC says that, without action, more health and care staff will quit, services will be further stretched, and people will be at greater risk of harm.
Amanda Pritchard, NHS England chief executive, said there are around 10,000 patients in hospitals who are medically fit to be discharged butThe CQC said only two in five people are able to leave hospital when they are ready, contributing to record-breaking waits in emergency departments following a decision to admit, and dangerous ambulance handover delays.
And some nursing homes are having to re-register as care homes because nursing staff are leaving and they are struggling to recruit replacements.Woman angrily confronts health secretary over 'people dying' due to lengthy ambulance waits The CQC's annual report on the state of health and social care in England also warned that the rising cost of living could result in more care staff leaving for better-paid work.
This will be especially pronounced in more deprived areas, where access to care outside hospitals is under the most pressure. The pandemic has swelled the waiting lists and to make any headway on the numbers, patients need to go into hospital and get out as soon as it is safe for them to be discharged.
