All individuals detained also have ready access to medical professionals and health care, including mental health services. In all cases, detention is kept under regular review to ensure that it is necessary, appropriate and takes into account the welfare of those detained.<\/p> The Home Office has published guidelines on acceptable room capacity in immigration removal centres, which build on requirements set out in secondary legislation. Capacity across the detention estate is kept under regular review.<\/p> In line with the Home Secretary\u2019s statement on immigration detention on 24 July, the practice of accommodating three detainees in rooms designed for two has now ceased.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
