answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/03/2021 answer text <p>New visiting arrangements started on 8 March. From then, every care home should ensure that each resident can nominate one named person who can have regular, indoor visits. Those with the highest care needs can also nominate an ‘essential care giver’. These visitors will be able to visit more often in order to provide essential care. They will have the same testing and arrangements as care home staff so that they can also provide extra support, like help with washing and dressing or eating well.</p><p>At step two of the roadmap, we will assess the data and take a decision on opening up further opportunities for visiting, setting out a plan for the next phase of visits for people in residential care.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 30/03/2021 10:14:55 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
