Official figures published by Public Health Scotland found just over a quarter of patients in 2020/21 were readmitted to wards within 133 days, a slight increase on the previous year.
In the last year a total of 8,800 patients spent one to seven days in non-psychiatric care - a drop of 3.3 per cent.
