The Care and Support (Discharge of Hospital Patients) Regulations 2014 (revoked)

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.
