These two services were commissioned to enable patients to avoid hospital admission or access earlier discharge in order to reduce the harm that arises from unnecessary hospital attendances and admissions. Both services provide a timely response to referred patients, either in hospital or in the community, to deliver appropriate medical and health interventions, which allow the patient to receive treatment in the most appropriate place for their individual needs.
