Annotation	One in six Londoners is of pensionable age; and older people have a right to live in personal safety free from abuse. The London context for elder abuse concerns older people's lifestyles, their income and housing, and the possibilities of isolation and exclusion. Other speakers considered current research on elder abuse, the action needed to combat it, and multi-agency responses. Policies and procedures were needed, particularly for private sector care providers and home carers. Culturally sensitive social services were needed to meet the needs of the whole spectrum of older people. (RH).
