第49章 overlap 重叠
Groups like Johns Campaign say the laws protecting the rights of care-home residents to have contact with family members—such as Article 8 of the Human Rights Act and clauses on deprivation of liberty in the Mental Capacity Act—are still being ignored. Politicians are getting behind the campaigners. On April 28th a group of MPs wrote to the Telegraph and called for an end to “all unlawful visiting restrictions“. An overlapping group has urged Mr Javid to create legislation that would guarantee a “legal right“ to receive visits and support. Organisations such as Mencap， Mind and the Alzheimers Society have signalled their agreement.

【译文】
像“约翰运动”这样的团体说，保护护理院居民与家庭成员接触的权利的法律--如《人权法》第8条和《心智能力法》中关于剥夺自由的条款--仍然被忽视。政治家们正在支持这些运动者。一群国会议员在4月28号写信给《电讯报》，呼吁停止“所有非法的探视限制“。一个类似的团体敦促贾维德先生制定立法，以保证接受探视和支持的“合法权利“。Mencap、Mind和Alzheimers Society等组织已经表示同意。
