flag Over 260,000 English children were hospitalized for weeks or months due to lack of community support, despite being medically ready to leave.

flag Over 260,000 children in England spent at least three weeks in hospital during their childhood, with 1,300 staying more than a year, due to delays in discharge linked to inadequate community support, according to the children’s commissioner. flag Many are medically fit to leave but remain hospitalized because of gaps in social care, housing, home nursing, and education services. flag Children from deprived areas and ethnic minorities are disproportionately affected, and funding disputes between health and social care agencies contribute to prolonged stays. flag The report calls for systemic reforms to improve coordination across services and expand home-based care.
