Would the payments be offset against the bedroom tax?
Really....?
Stupidity. This does not create any excess capacity. It shifts capacity from existing homes available for rental to those who will make them available for Healthcare. This will cause landlords to let to the NHS rather than tenants. Just like how AirBnB has skewed the rental market in cities like Amsterdam.
Thats before anyone considers the healthcare support.
Isn't a trial exercise something a national government does before rolling it out as major nationwide scheme?
I have a room for you, if you need to get over some latent psychological issues. It's in the loft, but south facing towards Europe with some cheery views. Secure, sound proof, safe and no radio waves, and a treadmill for exercise.
Let me know, and I'll get the forms filled.
"The idea of NHS hospital patients recuperating in Airbnb-style accommodation has not been ruled out, health minister Philip Dunne has said."
"Southend Hospital had been linked to a trial where hospital patients could be discharged to people's spare rooms.
The hospital distanced itself from the idea following criticism by politicians and health groups.
But Mr Dunne told BBC Radio 5 live he "wouldn't immediately reject it" as "one's got to trial different things"."

Am I missing something? How is discharging someone who's had minimally invasive surgery to an airBnB-style room any different from discharging them home to their own room?
