Cost savings

A well hydrated person is less likely to develop secondary problems thus reducing the need for additional drugs
-
Good hydration speeds recovery and so frees up beds more quickly offering potentially huge cost savings
-
A reduction of just half a day in hospital stays due to correct hydration would show a saving of around £250 per bed per week. With 175,000 beds in the NHS that equates to over £40m per week or OVER £2 BILLION PER YEAR!
