AnnotationThe vision of the Green Paper, 'Independence, well-being and choice' (Cm 6499; 2005) for the future of adult social care confirms New Labour's subsuming of specific social problems of "elder abuse" under a generic adult protection strategy, explicitly located within an overarching policy and legislative framework of social care generally. This article considers the content of the Green Paper's elder abuse content in the light of reports in the previous ten years. It notes how the even-handed approach of the Conservative administration in the 1990s has been abandoned. (RH).
