Some nursing homes are not complying with guidance on visitation with residents despite a high level of vaccination in the centres, an advocacy group has said.

Under current guidelines from the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC), nursing home and residential care residents may receive two visits a week once the facility has had a high level of vaccination.
