<p>Through its Getting It Right First Time programme, NHS England and NHS Improvement
are currently working with all inpatient providers to review a range of data metrics,
including length of stay. As part of this, meetings will be held with each provider
to review length of stay in their units, to undertake benchmarking, identify outliers
and agree areas for improvement.</p><p>The child and adolescent mental health services
clinical reference group has also set up a data working group which will have a focus
on length of stay to identify potential areas for improvement.</p><p>Delayed transfer
of care data is submitted by all NHS England and NHS Improvement regional teams on
a weekly basis so that there is a national overview. Robust and regular monitoring
is undertaken by regional teams to track progress against discharge/transfer plans
and processes are in place for escalating cases. The regional teams also review delayed
transfers of care with providers as part of the routine contract monitoring arrangements
and agree any necessary actions with them.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
