More extended households
Every family should be allowed to have an extended household or support bubble with one other household if they so desire.
Everyones's mental health benefits from social connection. As a young family with two parents and 3 kids we can't afford to eat in restaurants just to spend time with and see the grandparents. Meeting outside is not often an option as the weather makes it difficult. We can take responsibility for ensuring appropriate cleaning etc is done in our home and we need the emotional connection that the wider family provides. The fact that the Grandparents can provide childcare in my home but can't come in for a meal or a cup of tea seems unfair and not scientifically justified.

Why the contribution is important
People's mental health and wellbeing is suffering because they are cut off from seeing and spending time with loved ones. This in turn makes people resent the rules and more inclined to break them which leads to the virus spreading more.

The FM does not seem to understand the need of people to be with close family
