Restrictions introduced during the pandemic are still preventing loved ones from visiting residents of some care homes in England, the parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights said
I’m Matt Rosser with news that a report has warned that the human rights of people in care are under threat due to slow progress on enabling visits and the inappropriate use of resuscitation notices. Restrictions introduced during the pandemic are still preventing loved ones from visiting residents of some care homes in England, the parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights said. The committee also said it is concerned that Do Not Resuscitate notices are often not applied correctly, meaning someone’s treatment can be wrongfully withheld. Committee chairwoman and SNP MP Joanna Cherry said there must be a “careful balance” between protecting human rights and preventing the risk of harm.
