Labour MSP hits out at high levels of delayed discharge within NHS Lanarkshire

Latest figures show that in January 2025, NHS Lanarkshire lost a staggering 5,832 bed days to delayed discharge.



Labour MSP Monica Lennon criticizes the Scottish Government for high levels of delayed discharge in NHS Lanarkshire, with 5,832 bed days lost in January 2025. Lennon attributes this to "dangerous neglect" of social care services and calls for increased capacity in care homes and more care packages. The Scottish Government defends its record, citing a 16.1% drop in Scope waiting times in NHS Lanarkshire and a proposed £200 million investment in the 2025-26 budget to reduce waiting times and delayed discharge.
