Visiting in care homes, hospitals and hospices (easy read)

The government wants to make sure that patients and residents in care homes, hospitals and hospices in England can have visitors whenever it is reasonable and safe.

We might need to make new rules about visiting, like how many visitors someone can have and when they can visit.

Please answer our questions to tell us what you think about this. We’ll use what you tell us to help us decide what to do.
