Visiting access
My nephew is in Beech Ward at Woodbourne Priory. he was moved there after a brief time elsewhere. whilst in there his family were able to visit between 11am and 8pm. he responds very well to the support of his very caring and very loving family. now he has been moved (against the better judgement of family and as a result of finance and bed numbers on the nhs part) his family/girlfriend have one hour per week to see him. as part of the mental health sector, how can this be deemed in the best interests of any patient when we know that social support and social interaction are crucial in the rehabilitation process? the reason given is Covid. our country has moved in from such limitations.
