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