Restore Britain remains deeply concerned about the lockdown treatment of some of our most vulnerable and infirm adults who were, or became, residents of care homes.
Extensive use of ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ orders, draconian restrictions on contact with visitors, forced separations of married couples, withdrawal of routine GP visits, and the over-prescribing of inappropriate and potentially fatal sedatives and opioids – these were among the many indignities and deprivations of questionable intent or purpose that were imposed on care home residents.
A Restore Britain Government will commission a rapid review into whether the shameful treatment of care home residents during this period was justified on any empirical measure of pandemic management.
Where appropriate, prosecutions will follow.
