F, Whitty) has said. The board has been told that before it can expect money for new and extra: services next year it must! submit a plan on how it might reduce the numbers of long-stay beds. j “This is not realistic, especially as we have a growing region and national , responsibility for beds in a number of health disciplines,” Mr Whitty said.
