Hospitals and Care Homes: Hydration
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have plans to implement a hydration policy in hospitals and care homes.
- Answer
-
My Lords, all providers of regulated activities, including hospitals and care homes, are required by law to have policies in place that protect people from the risks of dehydration. The Care Quality Commission can take action if these requirements are not being met. It is for health and social care providers to develop local hydration policies. There are a number of best practice resources available to help providers to do this.
