Context & Explainers
Intermediate units (Portuguese: unidades intermédias) are social inpatient facilities for people who have been medically discharged from hospital but are not yet ready to move to permanent continuing-care services. Creating 400 places contracted with organisations in the social and solidarity sector aims to free up acute hospital beds and reduce delayed discharges, which can shorten waiting times and improve flow through hospitals for all patients.
