New Support for People Discharged from Hospital
Emergency re-admissions increased by 50 per cent between 1998 and 2008, and Health Secretary Andrew Lansley said: ‘Too often, patients end up back in hospital because they haven’t had help readjusting to life at home. We need to do more to prevent this from happening.’
‘Re-ablement will give opportunities for the NHS and councils, by working together locally, to make savings. Services of this kind have shown dramatic benefits in supporting people and cutting readmission to hospital. Our objective is for people to be once again independent, in their own homes.
‘This new funding will mean people will benefit right now and around 35,000 will start to get the help and support they need.’ The additional funding for re-ablement has come from savings from central Department of Health budgets.
