Over-Medication Of The Elderly (No. 2)
EDM number 1565 in 1997-98, proposed by Paul Flynn on 16/07/1998.
That this House is shocked by the evidence from the Alzheimer's Disease Society and Age Concern on the dangers of the over-medication of the elderly; is alarmed by reports that up to one in five admissions to hospital of the elderly are caused by the misuse of medicines and by investigations in England and Scotland that found 54 per cent. and 88 per cent. of prescriptions of powerful neuroleptic drugs in care homes were wrongly prescribed; congratulates the School of Psychiatry of the University of Manchester on their recent study which resulted in reduced drug use in homes with no detriment to the mental and physical health of residents and savings of substantial sums of money that could be re-used to improve care services; and calls on the Government to replicate widely the reviews nationally in the interests of care home residents and staff.
This motion has been signed by a total of 89 MPs.
