| Annotation | Section 80 of the Care Standards Act 2000 sets out the duties of care homes and domiciliary care agencies with regard to the Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA). As government guidelines to protect vulnerable adults are unveiled in July 2004, the author considers whether the measures are sufficiently robust. The article refers to the House of Commons Health Select Committee's report on elder abuse, as well as the views of the Community and District Nursing Association, the National Association of Inspection and Registration Officers (NAIRO), the Relatives and Residents Association, and the National Care Forum. (RH). |
