Your future in your hands with Power of Attorney

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is calling on the public to organise Power of Attorney (POA) for welfare matters.

Statistics show that around a third of patients are delayed in their discharge from hospital because they don’t have one in place. That means more time in hospital and away from home comforts.

Currently, over 100 people are delayed within NHSGGC due to a lack of a POA. This is roughly equivalent to four acute inpatient wards. If this wasn’t required, staff could be assigned to other areas of the healthcare system and help people who need care today.
