This government let care home residents down badly at the start of the pandemic directing covid patients to be discharged into care homes.
Since then they have allowed care homes to bar family visitors. Despite that family can be tested in the same way as care home staff thus posing no greater risk to their loved ones.
The least they can do is continue to provide testing and PPE for family carers, carers and hospital staff and make essential care givers a lawful right so residents can see family on a regular basis. It’s cruel not to it’s also an infringement on basic human rights and equal rights of care home residents.
Many carers have looked after family members for no financial reward thus saving the government money.
I hope they do the right thing and allow essential care givers to be enshrined in law and allow another 4 family visitors to see loved ones on a regular basis and provide testing and PPE to increase safety
