Musings from a bed-blocker…
So - Lord Carter has said in a report published today that hospitals need to find a solution to 'bed blocking'. Now, that's an easy one. I know what needs to happen. Four words - sort out social care! If the Government was prepared to spend some money on doing this rather than cutting services left, right and centre, otherwise healthy people could be discharged safely from hospital as soon as they are better, freeing up their beds!
