500,000 hospital patients sent home too soon every year (and 1,500 a day readmitted for emergency care)

The Daily Mail reports on England's socialist medicine:

More than 500,000 patients every year are readmitted to hospital after apparently being sent home too soon, alarming figures reveal.

Labour's waiting-time targets have been blamed for the 50 per cent rise in emergency readmissions of patients within days of them being discharged.

Critics said it was a scandal that almost 1,500 a day were apparently being released before they are well enough, harming their recovery.
