When my father spent a month dying in hospital there were 2 problems.
1 He was only treated for one problem, his heart. The foot specialist 2 doors along never visited. They said thrush had to be treated by his GP after Dad left hospital. But the thrush meant he could not walk.
Nor eat and swallow, so he starved to death and never left hospital.
2 The hospital did not communicate to the social services that an urgent visit was required to get my father out of hospital. So social services supposed to arrange home care delayed visiting a few days. He died in hospital before they could fulfil his wish of going home to die.
