answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2020 answer text <p>We appreciate the particular challenges visiting restrictions pose for people with dementia and their loved ones.</p><p>On 15 October we published updated visiting guidance for care homes. Care homes can develop a policy for limited visits, following the advice set out in this guidance. This should be on the basis of a dynamic risk assessment which takes into account circumstances and needs of the individual care setting including both residents and staff, and the external COVID-19 environment including local COVID alert levels. This should include an assessment of whether residents’ needs make them particularly clinically vulnerable to COVID-19 and if they make visits particularly important. This guidance is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/visiting-care-homes-during-coronavirus/update-on-policies-for-visiting-arrangements-in-care-homes" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/visiting-care-homes-during-coronavirus/update-on-policies-for-visiting-arrangements-in-care-homes</a></p><p>This guidance will be updated as the risk posed by COVID-19 continues to change.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 22/10/2020 12:49:21 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/06/2020 answer text <p>The Department, Public Health England, the Care Quality Commission and the National Health Service have published guidance on the care of residents in care homes, including those with dementia. It asks care homes to consider alternatives to in-person visiting, including use of telephones or video, or the use of plastic or glass barriers between residents and visitors. NHSX has rapidly established a team to support those who are vulnerable, isolated or in social care with technology during Coronavirus (Covid-19). The team has taken several steps to ensure that care homes have the technological capability to maintain social contact for their residents, including: a pilot of 2,050 Facebook Portal devices, and negotiating broadband deals to make sure care homes have the connectivity to access video calls. Twelve of the major telecoms providers have also agreed to work with care homes that have slow, or no broadband connections, to improve connectivity wherever possible. A number of offers have recently been made available to care homes.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately grouped question UIN 44045 45064 question first answered 03/06/2020 14:01:28 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2019 answer text <p>Local authorities have a duty to ensure people including those with dementia receive appropriate care and support.</p><p>Adult social care is a locally delivered system therefore local authorities are locally accountable for the delivery of care and support and retain significant discretion over how their functions are exercised. Different communities require different social care provision and local authorities are best placed to understand the needs of their constituents.</p><p> </p><p>We have given local authorities access to up to £3.9 billion more dedicated funding for adult social care this year, and a further £410 million is available for adults and children’s services. The Government will set out plans to reform the social care system to ensure it is sustainable for the future at the earliest opportunity.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage grouped question UIN 257088 question first answered 23/05/2019 15:01:54 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
