Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
Chris Jones, you were nodding in agreement. Is that right on that?

You say 'clarity'; is it not clear now where that funding sits?

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
Thank you. Faye, I'll come to you. Joyce's question was sweeping up anything that you want to say that, perhaps, has not been drawn out in questions, and just talking about the potential impact of rising living costs as well.

That's fine. And, yes, so Joyce's question, and anything you want to add in terms of the points I've just raised as well—Catherine May.

Can I just ask, before you move to the others, as we're rounding up, Chris? You also mentioned about the energy cap earlier on in the session as well. I'm just keen to understand—and you were talking in terms of people keeping their homes warm and dealing…

Faye to come in to start with, I think, and I'll come back to you, Chris.

I was just thinking in terms of the assessment process, and if there are any issues that you thought needed to be resolved in that area. I'll open it up to anybody else that might want to come in on that. No? That's fine. Gareth Davies.

Okay. That's clear. And then there's the discharge to recover then assess model. How is that working?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
So, what should happen?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
So, what should happen? The Welsh Government should define that definition.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
Okay. Catherine May.

So, you don't agree with those decisions being taken at a local level.

What's your assessment of why, perhaps, other health boards don't operate in the same way as Aneurin Bevan, as you just pointed out? What's the blockage?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
What you did talk about, Chris, is about there being elements of good practice, so I presume there's good practice and there's bad practice. Of course, as a committee, we'd want to find out where that good practice is. So, it'd be good to have, perhaps, an…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
It would be really helpful to have that, because I think that would be key to our piece of work. With regard to discharge practice across Wales, what kind of variation takes place between health boards, and, more specifically, hospitals? Is there a great…

What I'm trying to get to, I suppose, just trying to understand if, in the perfect world, communications were all being undertaken correctly and as you would like to see them, if that's not happening, then what further delays—? To what extent are delays now…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
If we're talking about those conversations not happening as perhaps they should, what delay are we typically talking about at the moment for some of those more difficult adaptations to be made, such as stairlifts? If those conversations aren't happening, as…

Okay. Faye, you wanted to come in on that.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
That sounds very positive. So, what you're saying is that there aren't any typical delays occurring for equipment or adaptations. Once they're identified, they go out the same day—that's your experience.
