Acute Care

The BGS welcomes a new report published by the Senedd Health and Social Care Committee, Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals. This report concludes the Committee’s inquiry into this topic to which BGS was pleased to submit both written and oral evidence.

Late on Friday 21 August, the Department of Health and Social Care announced a £588 million fund to support people being discharged from hospital. We encourage BGS members with any questions about how this funding will be implemented to come forward and we will pass these onto NHS England for clarification.

BGS members have been at the forefront of the COVID-19 pandemic and have been implementing innovative solutions to enable them to deal with the unprecedented demand for services, which have been summarised and submitted to NHS England ans NHS Improvement.
