Our response

In response we have provided analysis from AT and MHSDS on the number and proportion of patients that are clinically ready for discharge, where there is a delay and where at least one reason for the delay is due to lack of suitable housing.  Data is also provided on the total length of delay for all patients experiencing delays as well as those where at least one reason is due to lack of suitable housing (some time delayed may be due to other reasons).
