Welsh government launches 50-day challenge to improve hospital discharge and community care
A general view of staff on a NHS hospital ward at Ealing Hospital in London

THE Welsh government has today launched a 50-day challenge it says will help more people safely return home from the hospital and to ease winter pressures on the health and care system. 

Health boards and local authorities will work together to use a 10-point action plan to support more people who have experienced long delays in hospital to return home. 

The challenge aims to ensure the NHS and local councils work together to share and learn from best practices to improve system performance and ensure the right support is available to help people stay well or recover at home or in the community.
