A further £100 million over three years is to be invested in the NHS to help reduce the numbers of people waiting to be discharged from hospital. This funding will be used to support health boards and local authorities deliver good quality care and support for people at home or in a homely setting.

This is aimed at preventing delays in discharge and preventing admissions to hospital and attendances at A&E. Combined these actions will reduce pressure across the system.

Reducing the number of people waiting to be discharged from hospital is a key priority of the Scottish Government and this funding forms part of its wider commitment to integrating health and social care services.
