Our fight for Anne's Law is not over yet

CARE HOME PROTECTIONS BOOST

- BY HANNAH RODGER Political Reporter

CAMPAIGNERS have welcomed progress towards enshrining vital care home protections - but warned their fight isn't over.

SNP ministers pledged to change the law to give relatives legal visiting rights in the wake of the pandemic, which saw thousands of elderly people die alone in locked down institutions.

The Sunday Mail has campaigned for Anne’s Law alongside Campbell Duke, whose wife Anne died in isolation aged 62 with early onset Alzheimer's disease, for visiting protections to be introduced.
