Closed Relax household mixing rules for adults with mental health issues

Closed on

The Government should allow adults who have mental health issues to mix with one other adult from outside their household, irrespective of whether they live on their own or with other people.

Mental health for many people is deteriorating as a result of the corona virus regulations and laws, Nights are getting darker making meeting people outside more difficult. Many adults with mental health difficulties also work full time and need positive contact, irrespective of whether they live with other people. Many work unsociable hours, and different hours from their household, therefore can be left isolated for long periods of time. Allow those with mental health difficulties to access face to face support from a support buddy outside of their household.
