North Lanarkshire families and carers asked to help with recently discharged hospital patients.
People in North Lanarkshire are being asked to help where possible if a loved one, friend or someone they care for has recently been discharged from hospital.
Health & Social Care North Lanarkshire (HSCNL) is currently working to ensure patients whose discharge has been delayed are able to leave its hospitals as soon as they are medically fit to do so. The objective is to minimise their potential exposure to Coronaviris (COVID-19) and create vital capacity.
The call comes as COVID-19 is presenting Care at Home services in the area with increasingly significant capacity challenges. Families and carers of those currently in receipt of home care are also being asked to help. Tasks may include dressing, cleaning and cooking.
