Bed occupancy. Don't take it lying down

Abstract
There is no standard optimum occupancy rate for hospitals. Bed occupancy rates must be considered in relation to the number of beds in a hospital. In general, a large hospital operating the same occupancy rate as a small one will have to turn away fewer patients. The bed needs of each trust need to be analysed in greater detail than has previously been the case.
