<strong>Delayed</strong> <strong>Transfers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Care</strong>:<br />
When we reviewed the delayed transfer <strong>of</strong> care information, we concluded that there were<br />
significant data quality issues in quarter one <strong>of</strong> 2011/12. These have now been resolved,<br />
although they remain reported. If we disregard the first quarter, the levels <strong>of</strong> delayed transfers<br />
are in line with the targets within expected norms. Practically all <strong>of</strong> the delays were because the<br />
patient was either awaiting their choice <strong>of</strong> further NHS care (75%) or preferred residential or<br />
nursing placement (14%).<br />
