Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with third sector organisations
And just because we're a little short of time, just perhaps concentrate on the what-needs-to-change aspect, because I'm just conscious of time as well.

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with third sector organisations

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with third sector organisations
I was just thinking, you probably don't need to convince the committee of the need for better comms—we all agree on that. We're just trying to understand how that can be done. You've outlined some positions there. I think, Jake Smith, you wanted to come in…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with third sector organisations
How's that done? How should that be done?
14 February 2022Health and Social Care Committee
Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with third sector organisations
What you've outlined as a solution just seems pretty basic to me, that the hospitals need to have better communications with the family in terms of discharging them. So, why on earth is that not happening now, do you think? And I can see Catrin nodding away…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with third sector organisations
Thank you, Kate, for that. And I won't ask you to share all your recommendations, because they'll no doubt be drawn out through questions from different Members this afternoon. But I'm interested in just one aspect: you detailed the issues around poor…

14 February 2022Health and Social Care Committee
Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with third sector organisations
Thank you ever so much for being with us and for your evidence paper ahead of today's session as well. Can I first of all ask an extremely wide question? Tell us what the main issues and problems are with regard to hospital discharge in Wales, from your…
14 February 2022Health and Social Care Committee
Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with third sector organisations
In that case, I move to item 2, in regard to our inquiry, and today is the third meeting dedicated to taking all evidence from various stakeholders to inform our inquiry into hospital discharge and its impact on patients going through hospitals. So, I'd like…

Introductions, apologies, substitutions and declarations of interest
Croeso, pawb, a phrynhawn da. Welcome to the Health and Social Care Committee this afternoon. I move, first of all, to item 1. We have just a number of housekeeping matters, first of all. If I can say that this session this afternoon is all being conducted…

Impact of the waiting times backlog on people in Wales who are waiting for diagnosis or treatment and Scrutiny of the Welsh Government’s Health and Social Care Winter Plan 2021 to 2022: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
I'm just looking at the clerk, to make sure that we haven't got anything else that we need to do publicly. No. In that case, that draws our public meeting to an end this afternoon. We're back again in committee on Monday. Diolch yn fawr.

Impact of the waiting times backlog on people in Wales who are waiting for diagnosis or treatment and Scrutiny of the Welsh Government’s Health and Social Care Winter Plan 2021 to 2022: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
I'm not sure whether this is the same or a related question, but I can see some information in front of me that says that from 3 February, 12 to 15-year-olds will be able to use—this is in England—the NHS app and the website to access their NHS COVID pass…

Impact of the waiting times backlog on people in Wales who are waiting for diagnosis or treatment and Scrutiny of the Welsh Government’s Health and Social Care Winter Plan 2021 to 2022: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Tell us after the meeting. What I'm concerned about is—. I'd imagine all Members will have a postbag of constituents' letters that are having real issues there. I've got one constituent who's going abroad to take his son abroad for cancer treatment, and…

Impact of the waiting times backlog on people in Wales who are waiting for diagnosis or treatment and Scrutiny of the Welsh Government’s Health and Social Care Winter Plan 2021 to 2022: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
If you're concerned about this, is this something that you're going to adapt yourself, because some of these issues are not issues on the English NHS app, but they remain issues on the Welsh NHS app. But if you remain unhappy with the UK Government taking the…

Impact of the waiting times backlog on people in Wales who are waiting for diagnosis or treatment and Scrutiny of the Welsh Government’s Health and Social Care Winter Plan 2021 to 2022: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thanks, Rhun. Can I just ask, Minister, a question on the Welsh NHS app and the system in terms of recognising vaccinations or vaccination status for those that have had a vaccination outside of Wales? It still seems to be an issue. Why is that and when is it…

Judith, you wanted to come in. Can I ask, Judith, as well—[Interruption.] I was going to ask you a question, actually, but by all means come back on anything else as well. But in your answers to me, you talked about the role of the regional partnership boards…
