Gildernew welcomes new guidance for hospital visits

Sinn Féin MLA Colm Gildernew has welcomed confirmation that the Department of Health will update visiting guidance for maternity services and care homes.

The Fermanagh/South Tyrone MLA said:

“The current guidance on visiting at care homes and for maternity services has caused worry and pain for many families.

“I have raised this issue with the minister, and I welcome that the guidance is now set to be updated by the Department. 

“Receiving a visit from a loved one while in a care home or hospital is an important part of the healing process for many patients.  

“While it’s vital public health and safety regulations are observed, more can be done to explore alternative arrangements that would safely allow greater access and support to patients and relatives.”

Sinn Féin will bring a Motion to the Dáil on Tuesday to put a stop to Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael's indefensible waste of €9 million for phone pouches.

Please contact your TDs and tell them that you won't tolerate this waste of taxpayers money. They must reverse this decision.

The General Election is near and a choice awaits. You can call time on the crises in housing, healthcare & the cost of living.

Vote for a government that works for you, your family & your community. And if you give us the opportunity that’s the government Sinn Féin will deliver.
