Request Summary: Freedom of Information request End of life care and unsafe housing
Request Category: Private Individuals
| Question Number 1: I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. For the most recent three financial years for which data is held, please provide: The number of patients recorded by the Trust as receiving end of life or palliative care whose housing was documented by Trust staff as a unsafe or unfit for habitation b affected by damp, mould, overcrowding or serious disrepair c temporary accommodation or homelessness | |
| Answer To Question 1: In the past 3 financial years (22-23, 23-24 and 24-25) there have been 0 cases of patients receiving palliative care who were, at the time of their episode, recorded as being homeless or of no fixed abode. This is not the same as the question being asked in parts a and b, however there is insufficient data available to answer this question retrospectively. | |
| Question Number 2: The number of cases where housing conditions were recorded as contributing to a delayed discharge from hospital b an inability to provide safe end of life care at home | |
| Answer To Question 2: Not able to answer. We would normally record the primary reason for delayed discharge 鈥� e.g. end of life, but the associated issues would not be recorded in a format that is retrievable. | |
| Question Number 3: The number of patients receiving end of life or palliative care who died in hospital where housing conditions were noted as a factor in discharge planning or care decisions. If question 3 cannot be answered in this form, please instead provide: The number of patients receiving end of life or palliative care who died in hospital following a delayed discharge, where housing conditions were noted as a contributing factor. If the information is held in a different format or only partially held, please provide what is available. | |
| Answer To Question 3: Not able to answer, see response to Q2. | |
