Notes: FE Fixed Effects, IV Instrumental Variables, DTOC Delayed Transfers of Care, AHCP Awaiting Home Care Package, SC Social Care, NS Not Significant. All models include control variables from Tables 4 and 5, respectively. AHCP models use two lags of respective home care supply measure as instruments for DTOC days (HC₁₀ only) and DTOC patients. Standard errors in parentheses. ^a, ^b, and ^c indicate significance at 10, 5 and 1%, respectively
