The ICB confirmed it will not progress the cardiology case for change as a standalone programme, following a Joint Committee decision on 26 March 2026. The language is time-limited throughout ("at this time", "right now"), with no long-term assurance for Torbay. Also covers FOINHSD25/1493.

Requested waiting times for cardiac procedures at RDE from 1 July 2025. NHS Devon does not hold the information and referred the request to RDE.

The cath-lab funding saga and the weekend both labs failed. The Trust confirmed a £5.7m replacement to September 2027, with manufacturer support ending June 2026. A documented patient case contradicts the Trust's account that RDE "offered support".

Sought documented timelines for the Case for Change and details of the SRO's unplanned absence. The ICB admitted holding "part" of the information; the internal review was never answered on its merits before the programme was absorbed into the five-year plan.

RDE's own data shows its cath labs are "fully utilised during weekdays" and running weekend sessions, while already transferring 284 inpatients to Torbay. Raises the question of how RDE could absorb Torbay's workload.

NHS England confirmed it does not hold the Edge Health commissioning information and directed the request to NHS Devon ICB as the body "responsible for the majority of NHS budget and services in Devon", making the ICB's later "not held" claims implausible.

SWASFT confirmed there is no prehospital thrombolysis in South Devon and no paramedic training for over 10 years. Moving cardiac services to Exeter would extend diagnostic uncertainty well beyond NICE thresholds for STEMI patients.

Requested the raw divert log and operational records for the cath-lab outage. The Trust refused in full under Section 40(2), applying a blanket personal-data exemption even to timestamps and operational records that contain no personal data. A candidate for internal review.

Asked for a comparison between the Trust's frailty virtual ward and any cardiac virtual ward provision, to test parity of investment between specialties. Substantive response received; full content to be added when available.

Asked all four bodies for the documented record of the transfer that RDE allegedly declined. The Trust refused in full under Section 40(2), including questions about decision-maker roles and which Trusts were contacted, neither of which is personal data. The second blanket s40(2) refusal that day.

The Trust's original headline figures were wrong. On 2 July it admitted the first response mistakenly counted all April shifts, not just weekends: the weekend figures are corrected from 648 nurses / 7,037 hours / £225,140 to 64 workers / 2,414.50 hours / £83,610.80 (April, including the Bank Holiday weekend). Follow-up detail, now TSD10613, is delayed under a Section 43(2) commercial-interests extension.

Asked whether it had modelled the cost of moving acute services out of Torbay, the ICB answered "does not hold this information" — the same answer it gave on business cases, impact assessments and any cost comparison. The spending breakdowns and payment-level records were refused under Section 12. On its own account, the commissioner holds no financial modelling for the reconfiguration.
