- Author:

Discusses how learned papers and treaties as well as policy statements exist with the objective of enhancing the lives of old people with mental health problems.

Asks what strategies might be adopted to ensure that the needs of elderly people with mental health problems are placed more firmly towards the top of the health and social policy agenda.
