agree with BB.
it would be better if the sisters could swap where they live. at least pro tem. but i guess not practicable, re work commute.

Rereading my post it was a bit wordy
In my opinion mum and sister A (her house mate) should not be meeting up with anyone else because of the highly significant job your sister does

Well whatever the tiers and bubbles might be I think that is totally irrelevant Surely your mum is most at danger from the sister who lives with her and goes out each day to do frontline work as a care worker in a hospital bringing back whatever, on a daily basis I would think any other trips would be insignificant after being open to Infection on a daily basis and again forgetting bubbles and tiers neither your mum through association or your sister living with her should be visiting any third party

I would think that Mum and Sister A, who lives with her are one household and Sister B who lives alone can be in a bubble with them.
So, In my understanding of the rules, I think Sister B is correct.

Mum is elderly with complicated medical issues, and was sheltered during initial outbreak 0f Covid.

Sister A (Anna) lives with her, but has a full time demanding job as a care worker in a major hospital.

Sister B (Brenda) lives alone, about 1/2 hour drive from Mum, has a full time job, currently (mostly) working from home.

We are at loggerheads over the government guidelines as to what is allowable at Mums.
Sister B thinks she is allowed to stay at Mum's, and to take her out sociably to lunch, shop etc, and to have her stay at her home, as Mum is part of her bubble.

As Mum and I are in Tier 2, I think sister B (Tier 3) is not part of her bubble, as Mum is not a single household, she has sister A living with her, and cannot visit outside her household.
A is not classed as Mum's carer, as she works over 40 hours a week, so technically is a co-habitee.
This has caused a massive row.
If anyone can shine a light I would be grateful

PS. Mum is sublimely disinterested - as far as she has company she is happy.

Bu this is causing major fallouts between the rest of the family.
