About

Wigan Council awarded a contract to Wigan and Leigh Pensioners Link for the provision of the Home Safe Simple Discharge service.

This preventative service supports vulnerable patients following discharge from the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary (RAEI), Wrightington Hospital, Leigh Infirmary, and other community and reablement bed-based provisions.

The service offers volunteer-based support with paid staff, providing companionship, transport, low-level practical assistance, and social connections during the immediate post-discharge period.

Operating between 10am and 7pm, seven days a week including bank holidays, the service aims to reduce hospital re-admissions, prevent delayed discharges, and ensure patients return home safely and feel connected to their community.

The contract value was 482,080 GBP.
