Hi
I am asking this question on behalf of a friend. They have an elderly relative who is being sent home from hospital next week to a house that is not in a fit state to live in. Are the hospital not obliged to ensure the patient has somewhere fit for purpose to reside? My friend is not in a position to start renovating/ cleaning the house. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
