Delayed Transfers of Care Data 2017-18

The Monthly Situation Report collects data on the total delayed days during the month for all patients delayed throughout the month.  Prior to April 2017, it also collected data on the number of patients delayed on the last Thursday of the month.

Data are shown at provider organisation level, from NHS Trusts, NHS Foundation Trusts and Primary Care Trusts.

Data are also shown by Local Authority that is responsible for each patient delayed.

Data is split by the agency responsible for delay (NHS, Social Services or both), type of care that the patient receives (acute or non-acute) and reason for delay.

The latest publication of this data was for delays occurring in March 2018 and was published on 10th May 2018.

Further information for this collection, including the guidance document, can be found here


  • For delayed transfers of care by region please see the Local Authority reports.
