Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the prevalence of the use of antipsychotics in care homes.
The information is not available in the format requested. NHS Digital receive information on the prescribing of antipsychotic medication for people with dementia and without a diagnosis of psychosis. However, it does not include the location of those receiving the prescription and, therefore cannot identify those in care homes.
