The Older People's Commissioner is calling for evidence | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
that the inappropriate use of antipsychotic drugs | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
It follows a review by Sarah Rochira in 2014 about the experiences | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
of residents across Wales which, at the time, called the use | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Anti-psychotic drugs can alleviate agitation and aggression. They are | :00:28. | :00:45. | |
now prescribed to one in five dementia patients according to the | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
Royal College of psychiatrists. The concern is that could be too many | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
and professionals need to provide more emotional support instead of | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
prescriptions. Two years ago, the Older People's Commissioner told us | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
the inappropriate use in care homes was a national scandal. You've | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
identified what is wrong. What are you going to do about it? Alongside | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
identifying what needs to change in Wales, my legal review outlines a | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
wide range of action. Now she wants to see evidence of that. I know that | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
there is good practice going on across Wales and people are working | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
to deliver improvement for older people in care homes, but I want to | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
see as part of my follow-up review, evidence of it being sufficient. | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
It's only when health boards provide me of that evidence and iPod into | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
the public domain I can be assured on behalf of older people, we are | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
not inappropriately using this inappropriate path of drugs on older | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
people. These medications are used to treat conditions such as | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. They help with hallucinations, | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
delusions and extreme mood swings. High doses can make people feel | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
sleepy or drugged up and slowness and sleepiness can be side effects. | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
Health boards in care homes say, since then, they've made changes, | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
issuing guidance and regularly reviewing patients medication. The | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
older People's commission says there is good practice across Wales, but | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
now is the time for care homes and health boards to prove it. | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
And you can hear more on this story on Eye On Wales over | :02:23. | :02:26. | |

It allows us to network with companies who are already some way | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
along the journey further than us along that journey, we can network | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
with them and pick their brains. Starting from scratch would be | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
daunting. China and Hong Kong on our own, to approach those markets with | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
any degree of success would be a daunting huge task and we would not | :03:43. | :03:43. | |
know where to start. Football and Gareth Bale | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
