- 85% of care providers who have a positive relationship with their local hospital discharge teams still want the process reformed
- 24% of respondents say it takes more than a week on average for patients declared fit to leave hospital to be discharged into their care
- 7% of respondents say it takes three weeks or more on average for patients declared fit to leave hospital to be discharged into their care.
