There are some questions, especially regarding finances and financial abuse. I have worked with Ms Patricia Rickard-Clarke on the adult safeguarding Bill and financial abuse is one element of this. Deputy Cassells has asked questions about the scale of this and what might be the remedies. There is also the matter of contracts of care and the fact that people are not secure in their beds when they go to hospital or they are moved around. This can have significant consequences for people, especially those with dementia.
