Discharge support
Ealing Council recently approved a £60 million plan to integrate health and social care services, impacting patient discharge support.
Ealing Council approved a £60 million Better Care Fund plan for 2026/27 in September 2026, aiming to deliver integrated and preventative health and social care services, including support for patients leaving care facilities. The plan, submitted to and approved by the national team, outlines how the council will invest in preventative services, the voluntary sector, and a neighbourhood health model.
In September 2026, Tower Hamlets' Health and Adult Scrutiny Sub-Committee reviewed Care Quality Commission findings for adult social care and NHS winter planning arrangements. These areas are central to the provision of discharge support, which involves assisting patients transitioning from hospital or care facilities.
