This good practice guidance updates and builds on the Hospital Discharge Workbook published in 1994. The Government Response to the Health Select Committee Report on Delayed Discharges, issued in November 2002, indicated that the workbook would be updated to reflect the Government's commitment to tackle delayed discharges in line with its commitment in the NHS plan.
