PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Virtual Wards (27 May 2015)
Question Asked
Asked by:
Jesse Norman (Conservative)
Answer
We recognise the importance of care at home and have identified 800,000 of the most vulnerable patients as part of the Proactive Care Programme.
Virtual wards could provide one way of reducing unplanned admissions by providing the staffing, systems and routines of hospital care in the patient’s own home.
