LMH you are the fount of all knowledge!
I didn't mention your post to my wife immediately, but she phoned the hospital this morning and as well as a message being passed up the chain she has been given.....the phone number of the consultant's secretary!
Who even knew that these things existed?
Anyway, they have promised a phone call at some point, or she will call if she hears nothing today - which presumably will mean after the weekend, but it's not actually urgent, the transfer is happening today regardless, we just want to know what his condition and prospects actually are.

Well FiL is installed at the care home and it looks really nice to us. They were just wheeling him into the lounge as we arrived, but we went back to his room for coffee and a chat. He didn't seem upset by the change in circumstances but not sure whether he has really grasped his situation. Apparently the NHS is paying for a month, following which there is some further assessment about his condition and needs. Our assumption being he'll stay there on his own dime from then on.

Positive jda. I guess they'll be doing a continuing care assessment to determine funding at the end of the month. I'd have though he should qualify for some funding at least with only one useable arm and cognitive difficulties.

Yes it's all gone as well as could be hoped really. Still a shame that he seems to have basically lost the use of his legs thanks to a broken elbow. He walked almost a mile on the day he fell. But everyone has a final straw, eventually.
Manager wasn't in today of course and the consultant phone call didn't happen yesterday, so one way or another we hope to learn more on Monday.
