Specialist work on QoL as applied to the elderly in residential care, originally funded by the Personal Social Services Council, and later by ILEA as a Research Fellowship, led to a contract from DHSS Works Branch for a major study of QoL in residential homes for the elderly, which in turn led to the setting up of a separate Centre for Environmental and Social Studies in Ageing (CESSA) at PNL.
