Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what data his Department holds on trends in the level of prescriptions for anti-psychotic medication in care homes since the start of the covid-19 outbreak.
The information is not available in the format requested. NHS Digital receives 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.
