Fewer people in Wales are suffering delayed transfers of care because of a more coordinated approach from senior management to tackling the problem. To sustain such improvement local partners in health and social care, and the Assembly Government, must take a longer term approach and seize opportunities arising from the restructuring of the NHS.
This is the conclusion of a report released today by the Auditor General for Wales, which tracks progress made since his suite of reports in 2007. These found that the independence of vulnerable older people was compromised by unnecessary delays in hospital because the problem of delayed transfers of care had not been tackled in a co-ordinated way across the whole system of health and social care.
