Abuse of elderly people not that extensive

AN inadvertent misprint in your very worthwhile article on abuse of elderly people (Irish Examiner, January 5) may unduly worry people.

We are delighted that you have highlighted the matter and invite anyone with concerns about abuse of elderly people to ring our information line 01-4756989 or email library@ageaction.ie, or write to the address below.
