The problem #bedblocking where #patients are well enough to be discharged but there is insufficient #socialcare capacity to discharge them to, remains a key aspect of the #NHScrisis;

although this year things have improved (still) over 50% are not being discharged by the end of the day making it difficult t admit from A&E or from referrals.

To be clear, this is not the patients' fault (as the term 'bed blocking' can sometime imply), its a major structural problem that remains unresolved!

Attacks on the funding of the social safety net, sent millions of workers out of the public sector as wages were deliberately suppressed to please the billionaire donor class.

Would you want to be a nurse, teacher, care aid, or social worker where budget shortfalls are made right using your pay check? All to let billionaires evade taxation.
