Description

Home to Settle is a service being procured to support Winter Pressures in the East Kent area.
Home to Settle - known more commonly as "Assisted Discharge" - is a service which identifies patients who are non-clinical blockers who can be supported in returning home earlier.

Due to the nature of this Service, we are working on a very tight deadline, this opportunity is only open for the minimum required period, closing at 5pm on Wednesday 5 December. Please see www.kentbusinessportal.org.uk
