The Peterborough Hospital at Home Scheme had explored the possibilities of treating at home patients who, if it were not for the scheme, would be in hospital. The scheme has been enthusiastically received by patients, consultants, general practitioners, nurses, and other health care workers. It is difficult to compare costs. Nevertheless, the cost of Hospital at Home care cannot be regarded as too expensive compared with care in hospital. Establishment of such schemes elsewhere would affect future allocation of capital.
彼得伯勒居家医院计划探索了让那些若非该计划就会住院的患者在家接受治疗的可能性。该计划受到了患者、顾问、全科医生、护士及其他医护人员的热烈欢迎。成本很难进行比较。然而，与住院护理相比，居家医院护理的成本不能被视为过高。在其他地方设立此类计划会影响未来的资本分配。
