SCOTLAND, JUL 9 – The investment aims to reduce delayed discharges, with plans to expand Hospital at Home to 2,000 beds and set up frailty teams in every emergency department by summer's end.
- The Scottish Government announced an £85 million investment to expand the Hospital at Home service and introduce frailty teams in every A&E department across Scotland.
- Amid NHS capacity strain, 57,399 bed days were lost in May, prompting the Scottish Government's £85m investment as ministers acknowledged the need to improve delayed discharge management.
- Scottish Government plans to expand Hospital at Home to 2,000 beds by December 2026, supported by a record £21 billion budget for health and social care.
- However, frailty teams will be in place by the end of summer, later than pledged, aiming to reduce vulnerable patients' stay in A&E.
- Ultimately, expanding to 2,000 home care beds by December 2026 supports frail older patients, reduces hospital-acquired infections, and cuts delays in discharge.
