Recommendation 21
21
Paragraph: 92
The HRA does not apply equally to all those in care settings.
Conclusion
The HRA does not apply equally to all those in care settings. It only applies when care is local authority funded or arranged. The discrepancy between levels of legal protection for those in care settings can seem unfair – the human rights of all those receiving care should be protected equally. That the Government appeared to be unclear as to the applicability of the HRA is of great concern.
