"no reablement?"

Hi, this is a story about my mother who is recovering from a serious coronary condition currently at Wycombe hospital, having been transferred from the Imperial trust in Hammersmith, London where she has been looked after for the past week following a life threatening heart condition.

The emergency care that my mother received has been exceptional... when a life is threatened our National Health Service is something to be truly proud of.

However, as we come out of the other side of this family trauma, it becomes increasingly more evident that there is limited resource within the hospital trust to ensure she is fit and ready to go home, but overbearing pressure from hospital management to clear the beds. The acute reality of this is that my mother was told that she was leaving today, by staff who wrestle with doing what is right for the patient, and doing what they are instructed by senior management. She is not in a safe physical or mental state to return to her home, without adequate care in place.
