More than 100 patients fit to be discharged were taking up beds at Shrewsbury and Telford hospitals every day on average in October, figures show.
The figures are from Shrewsbury and Telford hospitals.
By definition, 'bed blocking' occurs when a patient is fit to be discharged from hospital but is unable to return home because the social care they need is unavailable. NHS England figures show an average of 138 beds per day were occupied by people ready to be discharged from Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust in October – up from 129 the month before.
Mr Maguire said:"It’s not crept up on anyone and is a continuation of the pressures we have seen on social care over several years. The sector is hitting a tipping point."
