Around one in eight beds in NHS hospitals in England are occupied by patients cleared for discharge but delayed from leaving hospital for a range of reasons from a lack of social care (packages) to family members worried about their ability to care for recuperating patients at home.... and, as we know, this presents a problem for the entire health care system.

The solution is investment in the NHS, in social care & in home support! Its not rocket science!
