AnnotationEvaluates the protective provisions of the Act, and argues that its intentions are undermined by a shortage of resources, insufficient guidance to inspection authorities, the restricted nature of legal sanctions and the tendency of tribunals to favour the interests of the private sector. Suggests means through which the Act can be strengthened to offer more protection for vulnerable older people.
