| Tool Description | This report draws attention to the neglected clinical problem of mental disorder affecting older people admitted to general hospitals and calls for the development of specialist liaison mental health services for older people. It takes account of the best level of evidence where it applies to older people. The present delivery of mental health services for older people in general hospitals is by the process of consultation. The superior method of multidisciplinary liaison is established for working age adults as a developed speciality. This approach should be established for older people and a failure to do so represents an ageist policy. |
