Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to review guidance on postnatal visits during the covid-19 outbreak to remove restrictions on visiting times.
Updated guidance published on 15 April 2021 states that women should have access to support people while admitted on the antenatal or postnatal ward in line with pre-COVID-19 trust policies. There are no plans in place at this time to publish further guidance on postnatal visits.
