Abstract
A representative sample of 351 patients in Private Nursing Homes in Weston Super Mare was surveyed with regard to their origins, admission assessment and continuing care, with particular reference to the nature of medical review during their residency. The results suggest inadequate medical care especially for ‘imported’ patients and those admitted for psychiatric reasons.Keywords
