A man “frozen in grief” since his father died in a nursing home during the covid-19 lockdowns has called for a wider and more public inquiry into those years. “I haven’t cried since my father died, I’m frozen in grief,” he said. "I also support Care Champions and their plea for care partner legislation.”The group remains concerned failings in care are still happening.

She called for Government to hold a statutory covid inquiry and implement care partner legislation.
