Abstract

This paper addresses the ethical and legal issues which arise in the UK in the care of demented people, updating and revising the 1993 review in this journal. In 1993 the ‘end of medical ethics’ had recently been suggested, an American fear that the doctor‘s responsibility and authority would be fatally eroded by administrators and cost controllers, concerned only with budgets. These concerns persist.
