In regard to delayed discharges from hospitals. I see from the information we have been given that it is expected that delayed discharges will increase by 24% this year on the 2013 figures. Can somebody explain the reason for that increase? Are the new moves in regard to the fair deal scheme having a bearing on the numbers?
