My Father who needs a full at home care package will be discharged from hospital at 8am Monday morning. This is a full 9 hours before care is due to begin at 5pm. The hospital are refusing to make alternative arrangements as it is the weekend saying patient transport is booked for 8am and cant be changed. Its extremely sad that despite vacant beds, they feel it it acceptable to discharge a frail patient so early. I fail to understand why they have not collaborated with the care providers, when I thought collaboration between services was the way forward for the NHS.
