‘In summary, I have been tasked to provide a report reviewing the likely effect of moves
from one residential home to another upon the physical and mental health of elderly
residents of care homes; to identify and include my views on the risk factors relevant to
the physical and mental health and mortality of care home residents subject to moves; to
offer my views on steps which may be taken to ameliorate the impact of such moves
including the impact upon residents suffering from dementia.’
