Author: John Carlisle

Examining data on the rate of Delayed Discharge within the NHS provides an illustration of the folly of NHS cuts and reorganisation over the last decade. Less control and fewer targets would help the NHS return to being one of the most efficient and effective systems of healthcare in the world.
