The patient does not require to remain in hospital in order to have further treatment.

1.) Tolerating diet
2.) Able to mobilise independently
3.) Able to attend to own activities of daily living (shopping, cooking, cleaning, etc.)
4.) Vital signs are within acceptable ranges
5.) As far as can be predicted, any current medical conditions unlikely to cause significant impairment in near future
6.) Followup care and linkup with general practitioner organised
