Just had a quick read through and they seem to be talking about rights of older people in care or hospitals in general. I think the following excerpt refers to what we have been talking about
The Committee is separately inquiring into the meaning of “public authority” for the purposes of the application of the Human Rights Act. That particular issue, which relates among other things to the applicability of the Human Rights Act in cases where local authorities have contracted out the provision of residential care to private care homes, will not be considered in this inquiry
