A new team at Kettering General Hospital is working to get people who are well enough home on Saturdays and Sundays, when previously they may have had to wait until the Monday.

Kettering General Hospital says seven-day discharge will help it to meet A&E targets and free up beds.

Reporter Elinor Cross meets the leader of the team Eamonn O’Brien, while Stuart talks to Jon Scott, the interim Chief Operating Officer at Kettering General Hospital, and to Rosie Newbigging from Healthwatch Northamptonshire.
