From Delayed discharges in NHS Scotland monthly Figures for May 2025 published today, we see that the number of delayed bed days occupied in a calendar month peaked at 46 150 in October 2024 and has been in a falling trend since, for six months, to 43 933 in March 2025.

That’s a fall of 2 217 days, or 4.8%.

How is this contributing to and benefiting from Scotland’s better integrated health and care system?
