HC Deb 17 July 1997 vol 298 c298W
Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans his Department has to review hospital discharge procedures. [8879]

Mr. Boateng

We wish to encourage a collaborative and co-operative approach to hospital discharge from all agencies. In order to support this, we are exploring proposals to address the difficulties around hospital discharge procedures and the problems which are caused by ensuing delays.
