Care home beds are set to be used in a bid to tackle the issue of delayed discharges from hospital.
Health Secretary Humza Yousaf has unveiled an extra £8 million of funding to help the NHS deal with “the extraordinary pressures” it is facing this winter.
He told Holyrood on Tuesday that there were more than 1,700 people in hospital across the country “who do not need to be there for clinical reasons, and whose interests are not best served by being there”.
