What if a relative is in hospital? Should a nurse or carer complete the questionnaire for them?
If the relative has lived in hospital for six months or more, they will be given an individual questionnaire to complete by someone in the hospital, such as a manager. If they are only temporarily in hospital (and have been there for less than six months) they should be included as a household member at their permanent or home address.
