Following up discharge.
I read with interest the article by Helen Evers on issues in community care services (Nursing Standard February 13), but feel she failed to address one very important aspect of discharge - the numbers of elderly people being discharged from hospital who do not require specific district nurse care bur who do, nevertheless, require follow-up by a worker with a nursing background.
