HC Deb 26 January 1983 vol 35 c436W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services, pursuant to the answer of 26 November 1982, Official Report, c. 599–600 when he expects his Department's sponsored research work being carried out by the National Institute for Social Work will be completed; and if he will arrange for the results to be published.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

Information about abuse of elderly people by their relatives forms only a very small part of this major study of the practical and social problems and emotional stresses of relatives, often spouses, who are caring for elderly people with dementia. The report of the study is expected to be presented to the Department in the spring and copies will then be available from the national institute. The researchers intend during 1984 to publish a book reporting on their study.
