Care home restrictions to be eased in England - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

Covid restrictions on adult social care will be eased in England from Monday, the government has announced. There will be no limit on the number of visitors allowed at care homes, self-isolation periods will be cut and care homes will only have to follow outbreak management rules for 14 days, not 28. Today’s Nick Robinson speaks to Suzy MacPherson, a listener who hasn’t been able to see her mum who’s in a care home since before Christmas. Also on the programme was Mike Padgham, Chair of the Independent Care Group, which represents independent care providers in York and North Yorkshire.
