People in York are being left in hospital beds as they can't get care nearer home. New figures from NHS England says York is one of the worst areas of the country for the problem.
NHS England have today shared data with City of York Council showing that in October 2013, the city was one of the worst communities in England for delayed transfer of care. This means that people who were ready to leave hospital could not be discharged on time due to a lack of community care facilities.
This is a shared problem for those providing health and social care services in the city and responsibility lies with a number of organisations including the NHS and the council.
