The House of Lords decided, in a majority decision, in June 2007 that private care homes under contract with local authorities for the provision of places were not exercising functions of a public nature for the purposes of the Human Rights Act. This has led to an understandable reaction from many charities concerned with the care of vulnerable adults that overriding legislation be passed. See: YL v.
