This paper critically examines the recent policy in mental health nursing of refocusing care on people with severe and enduring mental health problems. It is argued that older people with severe and enduring mental illnesses such as dementia are excluded from this policy and that this amounts to a clear case of ageism. Various ways of addressing the problem of ageism in recent policy changes are explored.
