This is a line chart with three lines showing the trend in the average number of beds occupied per day by people delayed in their discharge for all delay reasons, for standard delay reasons (Health and social care reasons and Patient, family and carer related reasons) and for Code 9 delay reasons (complex delays due to the specific care needs of the person). The chart shows that the majority of delayed discharge beds occupied during this period were due to standard delay reasons and changes in the All delay reasons trend are primarily driven by changes in the standard delay reasons. For All delay reasons, the average number of beds for people delayed in their discharge rose during December 2019 to February 2020, before reducing dramatically in April 2020 due to the introduction of COVID Emergency Measures. There was a similar impact on the number of delays due to standard delay reasons and a more muted effect on Code 9 delay reasons, causing a relatively smaller fall in these numbers. The average number of beds occupied per day for All delay reasons increased each month from April 2020 to September 2020, remaining fairly steady from then to April 2021 before increasing to October 2021. This was followed by a decrease in November and December 2021 then an increase to April 2022 before decreasing in May and June 2022 and then rising in July 2022. The figure remained stable in August 2022 before increasing each month to November 2022, the highest figure since July 2016, the average decreased in December 2022 and January 2023, increased in February 2023, decreased in March and April 2023, increased in May 2023 and decreased in June 2023. The proportion of the average number of beds occupied due to standard delay reasons varies over the time period presented. Between December 2019 to April 2020 the proportion fell from 81% of beds to 62% due to the COVID 19 Emergency Measures. In the rest of the financial year 2020/21, as the number of delayed discharge beds attributable to standard delay reasons increased the average proportion for the months rose to 66%; for the years 2021/22 and 2022/23 the average proportion for the year stood at 71 and 72% respectively, and in June 2023 it was 72%. The average number of beds occupied by people delayed in their discharge due to Code 9 delay reasons fell from March 2020 to April 2020. The average number of beds then increased gradually to January 2021 before falling in February 2021 and then remained relatively stable to December 2021 before rising again to March 2022. The number then fell gradually to September 2022 before increasing to December 2022 and then decreased each month between January
