Abstract
Delayed discharges caused by social services could potentially pose a financial risk for hospitals. In 2003, the English Government introduced a controversial policy based on fines for social services departments unable to discharge patients from hospital within set timescales. This article analyses the implicit relationship between Payment by Results (PbR) and the Delayed Discharges Act (DDA), and highlights some of its most relevant features.
