Llais Powys - Care Closer To Home 2025
Many Powys residents are experiencing delays in being discharged from out-of-county hospitals despite being well enough to go home, due to delays such as waiting for home adaptations, care packages, or access to supported accommodation. These delays can worsen mental health, slow recovery, and lead to physical deconditioning. Timely discharge is essential for freeing up hospital resources and making use of local community services, which are often easier to access in rural areas such as Powys.
Our goal is to identify the root causes of slow discharge processes for Powys residents in out-of-county hospitals. We aim to understand the challenges and opportunities to improve discharge processes, influence care closer to home, and provide policy recommendations to strengthen local services and improve patient outcomes.
