If the patient becomes unwell or their care needs change significantly prior to discharge, it is the responsibility of the discharge co‐ordinator to inform the local authority to put on hold any arranged social services by sending a Withdrawal Notification form (again, contact the discharge team or social services for this form). Once a revised discharge date is confirmed, a new Assessment and Discharge Notification form must be sent to re‐establish the services to prevent discharge delay. If a patient is already in receipt of an existing care package and it needs to be re‐started without any changes on discharge, Social Services must be informed at least 24 hours prior to discharge to facilitate restarting the existing care package.
