The abuse, neglect and mistreatment of older people in care homes and hospitals in England: observations on the potential for secondary data analysis
This study has investigated what sources of data exist on the subject of elder abuse in care home and hospital settings in England. It was commissioned by the Department of Health and Comic Relief. We used a broad definition of elder abuse to cover mistreatment, neglect and abuse. Some of these subjects are criminal offences; others are contrary to professional codes, service standards or breaches of human rights.
