Enter and View Policy

Report - 30 January 2018

  • Service refers to a place delivering publicly funded health or social care services, specifically those outlined in Section 2 – Where Enter and View Applies.
  • By law a service provider has a duty to allow authorised representatives to Enter and View. However, certain exclusions apply.
