question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of requiring care homes to provide (a) residents and (b) family members of residents of care homes with access to a second opinion on clinical care decisions if they raise concerns about a proposed decision.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2023 answer text <p>There are currently no plans to undertake such an assessment. If a resident of a care home, or one of their family members, is concerned about a proposed clinical decision, there are safeguards already in place to help them access a second opinion. Guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) set out that health and care services should ‘ensure that the patient knows that they can ask for a second opinion from a different healthcare professional and, if necessary, how they would go about this’.</p><p>Healthcare professionals, including those working in care homes, are expected to take guidance from NICE fully into account when providing care and treatment for individual patients.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 14/09/2023 13:34:14 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately previous answer version 94059 answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
