AnnotationWhat is the catalyst that triggers an issue to rise on the political agenda and into our public consciousness? This article describes how our politicians dealt with the issue of elder abuse, causing it to become a focal point for charities to lobby on and attract media coverage, and to force the subject onto a wider audience. The author outlines the work of the House of Commons Health Committee in gathering written and oral evidence from witnesses from a wide range of interested organisations between October 2003 and January 2004 for its report on elder abuse.
