Section Three The second year – activities and key issues by type of detention Other types of detention As noted above at page 11, the UK NPM members have been considering the definition of detention and whether all places of detention receive regular visits, as required by OPCAT. There has been some debate over places where people may not be detained under any lawful order, but where they may be considered de facto detained. This would include some care homes for elderly people. Whether people cared for in such places are in fact detained is still being discussed by the members, and the outcome of these discussions, and any monitoring activities, will be noted in future reports. 47
