Can you help a loved one leave hospital?
Helping a relative or friend with day-to-day tasks when they leave hospital could prevent further demands on health and social care services and free up a hospital bed.
It can also help improve or speed up their recovery.
If you could help a friend or relative when they leave hospital, please telephone 01305 221016 (lines are open Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5.00pm).
