These Regulations make provision for the details of the scheme for the discharge of hospital patients with care and support needs set out in section 74 of, and Schedule 3 to, the Care Act 2014 (“the Act”). Schedule 3 to the Act makes provision for co-operative working to secure the safe discharge of patients in England from NHS, or NHS arranged, hospital care to local authority care and support and enables a relevant NHS body to seek reimbursement from a relevant local authority where a patient's discharge has been delayed due to a failure of the local authority either to arrange for relevant assessments or meet a patient's or (where applicable) that patient's carer's needs which the local authority proposes to meet.
