About Us

The Combined Placement and Sourcing Team (CPST) was established in April 2020 as part of the health and social care system response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

CPST works across health and social care as an integration project that ensures people in hospital who need a supported discharge are able to be discharged with appropriate services as quickly and effectively as possible.

Alongside the function of hospital discharge, CPST also ensures that appropriate services are planned and sourced for people who have longer term needs and are eligible for social care support.

The CPST operates 7 days a week between the hours of 8am and 8pm supporting the health and social care system.
