The NHS has said "it is simply not fair to be sending people home late at night" after revelations that 8000 patients a week, some elderly and vulnerable, are being sent home from hospital in the middle of the night to relieve pressure on beds.
The Times (£) claims there are big differences in overnight discharges between regions. After sending Freedom of Information requests to all 170 NHS hospital trusts in England, it said the 100 trusts that replied admitted 239,233 patients had been sent home overnight in 2011.
If other trusts were discharging at similar rates, it would add up to 400,000 discharges annually. But rates varied between 8.7 per cent and less than 1 per cent across the trusts.
