	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2020 answer text <p>On 2 June 2020 the Board of Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust gave its support to temporary service changes, proposed by its clinical teams, as part of the next phase of its pandemic response. The changes separate COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 services, as much as possible, in order to minimise the risk of transmission of the virus to patients and staff. As a result, Cheltenham General Hospital’s accident and emergency department will operate as a minor injuries and illness unit, operating 8am to 8pm. The changes will be reviewed on a three-monthly basis.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 20/07/2020 15:26:27 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell

	tabling member printed	Lord Jones of Cheltenham
	uin	HL7529
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/08/2020 answer text <p>Given the high levels of compliance we have seen to date with the self-isolation guidance, we expect that the majority of people will continue to do the right thing and abide by these measures.</p><p>However, we will take enforcement action against the minority of people who endanger the safety of others in breaching the self-isolation requirement for those arriving into England from non-exempt countries. Those who fail to comply with the mandatory conditions could face enforcement action. A breach of self-isolation would be punishable with a £1,000 fixed penalty notice in England or potential prosecution and unlimited fine. Self-isolation is enforced in communities by local police. Border force will undertake spot checks at the border and may refuse entry where the individual is neither a British citizen nor a non-British citizen resident in the United Kingdom and refuses to comply with these regulations. Failure to complete the contact locator form is punishable by a £100 fixed penalty notice.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 25/08/2020 14:11:14 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell
