title: Partnership model improves services.
abstract: Each year, 1.15 million NHS bed days are lost because of delayed discharges. Most of those beds - 62% according to the National Audit Office ( 2016 ) - are occupied by people aged 65 and over. And for every day of an older patient's average 11.9 days stay, he or she loses 5% of muscle strength.
