Interesting article in the Guardian about who is occupying hospital beds - people with long term conditions and older people who can not remain at home without lots of support.
Not new but got people tweeting!!!

Maybe in times of austerity it all becomes more of an issue.
We have tried to shift resources from hospital to community for 20 years - hospital consultants have too much power and no one in the community has enough clout to do anything about it!!
