This page describes in detail the government’s new “designated settings” system, where premises are designated as meeting strict requirements that enable them to safely take covid-19 positive patients who are otherwise ready for discharge from hospital.

This document provides guidance in the delivery of this scheme, for local authorities, clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), care providers and people who use these services.
