Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will enable residents of care homes to have overnight stays away from the care home.

From 21 June, care home residents may leave their care home to undertake a broader range of activities without the need to self-isolate on their return to the care home, including visiting loved ones indoors or staying overnight out of the care home. Visits are subject to individual risk assessment by care providers.
