Similarly, the cost to the NHS of accommodating patients who cannot be discharged due to a lack of disabled housing is not collected centrally.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government publishes monthly data on the number of delayed transfers of care, broken down by the reason for delay. The latest available information can be found at:</p><p><a href="http://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/06/June-17-DTOC-SPN.pdf" target="_blank">www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/06/June-17-DTOC-SPN.pdf</a></p><p>It shows that, in June 2017, the number of delayed days attributable to the two categories for reason for delayed days which most closely align to the requested information – ‘Awaiting community equipment and adaptations’ and ‘Housing - patients not covered by NHS and Community Care Act’ - form only a small proportion (approximately 5%) of overall delayed days.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price grouped question UIN 9604 question first answered 12/09/2017 16:08:17 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
