NHS and council to receive millions to help free up hospital beds

Millions of pounds will be given to the NHS and Wirral Council next year to help get people out of hospital and into care or their homes.

It was announced in November that Wirral Council would get £1.5m directly from the Department of Health and Social Care while NHS Cheshire and Merseyside will receive £19.2m. Wirral will also receive £2.1m through the NHS trust.

The first 40% of the money will be handed out in December 2022 with the remaining 60% in January 2023.
