An interesting exchange re LoS and DToC over tht past few weeks which we thought needs clarification. LoS (Length of Stay) is the total duration from Admt to Disch.

Folks writing local "access" plans to "save UEC" really need to read this. Even though you've been told before. Go pester someone with an HSJ subscription if you don't have one.

I'll get to the Digital Government blueprint, for now enjoy this podcast the day after publication of the UK AI Opportunities Action Plan. It's a wide ranging conversation & on top of that be entertained by my wild hand gestures, fidgeting & inability to maintain eye contact youtu.be/8ykoxDSM75g
