THE FINDINGS of an independent review into alleged abuse in Gwent care homes will be published later today.

Operation Jasmine focused on six care homes in south Wales and was led by Dr Margaret Flynn. Its findings will be published at 9.30am.

The operation was established in 2005 after Gladys Thomas, 84, a patient at Bryngwyn Mountleigh nursing home in Newbridge, was admitted to Newport's Royal Gwent Hospital after being given incorrect doses of medication. She died on October 27.

Six care homes have been investigated:

• Bryngwyn Mountleigh, Newbridge
• Brithdir Care Home, Bargoed
• The Beeches Blaenavon
• Belmont, Caerphilly
• Grosvenor Care Home, Abertillery
• Bankhouse, Ebbw Vale

Argus reporter Andy Rutherford is reporting from the Senedd where the report will be unveiled.
