Care Homes: Visits
(asked on 23rd February 2021) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when they will announce a timetable for the re-introduction of close contact care home visits in England.
This question was answered on 4th March 2021
New visiting arrangements will start on 8 March. From then, every care home resident will be able to nominate one named person who can have regular, indoor visits. Those with highest care needs can also nominate an ‘essential family carer’.
We will continue to look carefully at the latest data and set out plans for the next phase of visits for people in residential care.
