Lastly, Amendment 39, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Grey-Thompson, would create differential treatment for people in care or nursing homes, as opposed to, for example, those being cared for at home. Once again, any differential treatment would need to be objectively and reasonably justified to comply with ECHR obligations. Significant further work will be required to define key terms and concepts, if this is Parliament’s will. For example, it is uncertain what would constitute a “heightened evidential standard”.
