We need to keep reminding ourselves of what's been happening to patient flow in Scotland's acute hospitals over the last few years - particularly since the summer of 2021.

Hospitals know that poor patient flow is caused by beds being too full. They also know that when they make the beds less full, flow improves. But they treat bed fullness as a thing that just 'happens'. We need an approach to flow that addresses the *causes* of bed fullness.

Fullness begets fullness begets fullness. We see the ebbs and flows as the week progresses. But the vertical positioning of each line also matters. If the blue line could be eight percentage points lower, the green line would be 13 points lower, and the ED line would plummet.

What a powerful message this diagram sends. £4 out of every £5 spend on healthcare in the last year of life is for acute hospital care. Community services remain underfunded. Hospices account for 4% of spending with hospice community palliative care being <2%.

Why the NHS wastes billions on patients who shouldn't be in hospital
