HOLY CRAP
This is the data for midazolam prescribing from the UKs official prescriber database
I have no words.

@chrismartenson @Fynnderella1 @EWoodhouse7 @jjcouey What needs to happen now is an audit needs to be undertaken of deaths in care homes where midazolam usage was high. If the patients that died were given midazolam instead of antibiotics in March - May 2022, criminal charges must be laid.
But who created the policy?
@chrismartenson @Fynnderella1 @EWoodhouse7 @jjcouey Just a note that the chart above is created from the GP prescriber database.
Therefore it should not be impacted by any increase in ICU admission or specific use for ventilation.
This looks to be solely for use in nursing homes and at home.
Harold Shipman style.

A point of note - the spike in midazolam prescription (on this *GP* database) was driven almost entirely by injectable 10mg/2ml doses (1501041T0).
This was not the anxiolytic oral form.
It's a euthanasia injection.

For those claiming that these drugs were being used for ventilating people in hospital, a reminder that this is the GP prescribing database.
An example - prescriptions for propofol (only used in hospital) - zero
This is damning - NSW health.
How the hell can you justify an "anticipated end of life care" for a pneumonia?
Seriously - what is wrong with you people?
