The issue of delayed discharges and hospital capacity has dominated the headlines of late, with social care often bearing the brunt of the blame in the national narrative. In this episode of The Local Authority, we explore the complexities of the interface between health and social care and what that might mean for long term solutions to the current crisis.

Crucially, we highlight the innovative approaches to addressing this issue already being taken in some local health and care systems and explore what best practice look like in reducing delayed discharges in health and care systems.
