Broadland and North Norfolk District Councils will contact you after you have returned home, initially by letter and then by making a phone call to you or if appropriate your relative.
In the call, we will ask you about your lifestyle, housing, health, mobility and more, we may offer you advice, information or connect you to a support service which can help.
Relevant information will be shared with colleagues from Broadland and North Norfolk District Councils, Norfolk County Council and Norfolk Community Health and Care Trust.
If you would prefer to not be contacted and to opt out of the process, please let a member of the hospital team know. Alternatively, you can opt out upon receiving the letter or at any point in the process by contacting the number on the letter you will receive.
