AnnotationThe debate to ensure an appropriate legal structure that encompasses all the needs of older people with dementia must continue. Legal reform, with a new Mental Health Act, should follow ethical debate in which not only the caring professions but also carers are involved. This paper focuses on the law in England and Wales, and updates and revises the author's 1997 and 1993 articles in Reviews in Clinical Gerontology. (RH).
