The delayed discharge of patients on mental health wards costs over pounds sterling 110 m per year. The problem is worsened by the fact that modernisation of mental health services is being hit by cuts. The DoH is considering fines for every day a patient who should have been discharged remains in hospital.

精神科病房患者延迟出院每年造成的成本超过1.1亿英镑。心理健康服务现代化因削减开支而受到冲击，这使得问题更加恶化。卫生部正在考虑对本应出院却仍住院的患者每天处以罚款。
