	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2020 answer text <p>On 19 March 2020, the Department and the National Health Service co-published <em>COVID-19 Hospital Discharge Service Requirements</em>, setting out guidance on supporting the safe discharge of patients who no longer need acute care. A copy of this guidance is attached.</p><p>The guidance also sets out the steps that care providers should be taking and we provided £1.3 billion to support the process. We have provided advice to care homes throughout the pandemic in response to the latest conditions and emerging evidence.</p><p>The COVID-19 hospital discharge service requirements were expected to help free up 15,000 hospital beds across England.</p><p>On 2 June, NHS England published an analysis on discharges to care homes. This data was not previously available. The data showed that the proportion of people discharged to care homes, nursing homes and hospices between 15 March and 16 April was 2.8%.</p><p>A small number of people who have tested positive for COVID-19 may be discharged from the NHS within the 14-day period from the onset of COVID-19 symptoms and also require ongoing social care. If a care home provider does not feel they can provide the appropriate care for these individuals, the individual’s local authority should secure alternative appropriate accommodation and care for the remainder of the required isolation period.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 15/06/2020 12:38:20 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell attachment 1 file name COVID-19_hospital_discharge_service_requirements.pdf title COVID19 Hospital Discharge Service Requirements
