Delayed discharges from NHS Ayrshire and Arran hospitals has cost the health board almost £100 million, new figures have revealed.

Figures compiled by Scottish Labour also show that 368,000 bed days have been lost due to delays in discharging patients from care settings.

Delayed discharge is when a patient is medically cleared to go home but cannot leave hospital, often because a social care package is not in place or there are a lack of places in care homes or sheltered housing.

Medical professionals and the BMA have said that the crisis in the NHS will not be ended without tackling delayed discharge.
