	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/09/2020 answer text <p>On 5 June 2020, NHS England and NHS Improvement revised their guidance on how National Health Service organisations may choose to facilitate visiting across healthcare inpatient settings during the COVID-19 pandemic. The national suspension on visiting imposed under previous guidance was lifted with immediate effect.</p><p>Visiting is now subject to local discretion by trusts and other NHS bodies, and will take into account local prevalence. The number of visitors at the bedside is limited to one close family contact or somebody important to the patient. However, where it is possible to maintain social distancing throughout the visit, a second additional visitor can be permitted in certain circumstances including those individuals receiving end-of-life care.</p><p>The maternity visiting guidance has been published by NHS England and NHS Improvement. It has been designed to assist NHS trusts to reintroduce access for partners, visitors and other supporters of pregnant women in English maternity services. It applies to inpatient and outpatient settings.</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/coronavirus/wp-content/uploads/sites/52/2020/09/par001599-framework-for-the-reintroduction-of-visitors-throughout-maternity-services-sep-2020.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/coronavirus/wp-content/uploads/sites/52/2020/09/par001599-framework-for-the-reintroduction-of-visitors-throughout-maternity-services-sep-2020.pdf</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 23/09/2020 09:09:09 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries previous answer version 49199 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries

It no longer usefully reflects the volume of tests carried out as, for example, a healthcare worker receiving their second, third or fourth test since the start of the pandemic would not be counted as they have been tested once before. Therefore, the people tested figure will be published on a weekly, rather than daily, basis within the NHS Test and Trace statistics at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/nhs-test-and-trace-statistics-england-weekly-reports" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/nhs-test-and-trace-statistics-england-weekly-reports</a></p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 23/09/2020 08:50:06 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately previous answer version 25925 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries

Non-professional performing arts activity, including choirs, orchestras or drama groups can legally continue to rehearse or perform together where this is planned activity in line with the performing arts guidance and if they can do so in a way that ensures that there is no interaction between groups of more than six at any time.</p><p>If an amateur group is not able to ensure that no mingling takes place between these sub-groups of no more than six (including when arriving at or leaving activity or in any breaks or socialising) then such non-professional activity should not take place.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries grouped question UIN 90044 question first answered 23/09/2020 09:37:38 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries previous answer version 48749 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
