Virtual Wards - Frailty versus Cardiac Virtual Ward Comparison
Submitted: 3 November 2025 | Extension requested: 2 November 2025 to 9 December 2025 | Response received: 9 December 2025
Why This Matters: Virtual wards allow patients to be monitored and treated at home rather than as inpatients, with different specialties operating distinct virtual ward models. The Trust runs a frailty virtual ward service. This request asked for comparative information between the frailty virtual ward and any cardiac virtual ward provision, to establish whether there is parity of investment and capacity between specialties at Torbay.
Organisation requested to respond: Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust (ref: TSD10012)
Subject as logged by the Trust: "Frailty versus Cardiac Virtual wards comparison issues"
Status: Submitted 3 November 2025. The Trust requested an extension on 2 November 2025, with a revised response date of 9 December 2025. Substantive response received 9 December 2025. Full response content to be added to this page when available.
