Those specified risk factors will be set out in regulations. It would be very helpful to hear from the Minister what the nature of those specified risk factors will be. I say that not just to hark back to the point I made earlier about the acute sensitivity of any decision to detain someone in a secure facility when they have autism or a learning disability; there is a broader concern that I think is material. We are talking here not about a clinical judgment made on the ground by a clinician that someone may pose a risk of serious harm, but rather about an a priori categorisation by the ICB of specific named individuals in accordance with regulations made by the Secretary of State.
