Super stranded patients across England – how are NHS trusts coping?

The NHS Operational Planning and Contracting Guidance 2019/20 asked trusts to reduce the number of super stranded patients* by 25% against a 17/18 baseline. New data from NHS England and NHS Improvement shows that almost 90 per cent of NHS trusts in England are not meeting their target.

This map allows you to see how individual trusts are performing against their targets set by NHS England and NHS Improvement.
