A hospital patient has been waiting more than six years to be discharged, new figures show.
The statistics, obtained by the Scottish Conservatives through freedom of information requests, show an NHS Grampian patient has had their discharge delayed by 2,312 days.
It is understood the majority of delays are caused by patients awaiting a care home place or a social care package at home being introduced, Age Scotland research shows. Patients waited an average of 23 days to leave hospital in the 12 months to June 2022, according to the data.
