Thank you for your answer, Minister. Of course, the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 is supposed to transform the way social care is delivered, and ensure everyone who needs care gets care. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case. Not only are we seeing patients sent home without anyone to help meet their care needs, but we also have large numbers of patients in hospital far longer than they need to be, because they have no ongoing care package. The latest delayed transfer of care statistics show 462 people in hospital far longer than they need to be. The majority of these patients spend around a month longer in hospital because there is no community care available, or there is lack of care home spaces. Minister, it is a well-known fact that the longer these patients spend in hospital, the longer their recovery will take.

What is your Government doing to eliminate delayed transfers of care?
