The Minister for Health and Social Services has asked APoSM to review the policy interventions needed to tackle substance misuse in an ageing population. The Welsh Government defines older people as those aged 50 and over and for consistency purposes this review will also focus on those aged 50 and over. As part of this work, APoSM is seeking written evidence from a wide range of interested parties across Wales, as our report will focus on the Welsh experience. In particular we would like to hear from substance misuse services, GPs and other primary care practitioners, secondary care clinicians, commissioners and service planners alike, Criminal Justice Practitioners (including, Police, Prison and Probation), and temporary and permanent accommodation providers (including hostels, refuges, day shelters, residential care homes, foster placements, rehabilitation, private rented sector etc.). We are looking to understand your experience of the problem and the scale of the issues you encounter. Most importantly we wish to uncover any examples of good practice; where referral pathways are in place and what are the difficulties and/or barriers to treating substance misuse in an ageing population.
