All patients from the psychiatry wards had been prescribed temazepam. Fifteen per cent ( n=6) of falls risk patients had been prescribed temazepam. Temazepam prescription was associated with an increased length of stay, psychiatry and surgical wards, and higher use of analgesia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Temazepam continues to be a frequently prescribed medication in the acute psychiatry setting.
