Labour — West Lancashire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 June 2025

Debate

Care Settings: Right to Maintain Contact

Contribution

I do not have that data to hand, but I will make sure that it is provided to the shadow Minister afterwards. While there is sometimes the need for temporary restrictions or modifications to minimise significant risks, the Government hope that such instances are a rarity. It is our aspiration to ensure that visiting policy and practice strike the best possible balance between individual wellbeing and public health needs. I have been really moved by, and taken note of, the evidence put forward by many Members that that may not always be the case. The right hon. Member for Dwyfor Meirionnydd (Liz Saville Roberts) talked about her experience with her mother, and brought to life the value that family and friends bring to the emotional wellbeing of the person being cared for and how, as partners in care, they play a key role in delivering that care.
