Coroner's Concerns
In the circumstances it is my statutory duty to report (o you. _ During the course of evidence at the Inquest was informed that Adams Pharmacy permitted three separate customers in receipt of prescriptions to interchangeably collect each other's prescriptions_ No documentation was before the court to confirm whether consent had been given by any customer: would like to know whether this practice is approved of by the relevant regulator of pharmacies. It seems to me this practice could be open t0 abuse and facilitate stock-piling leading to an increased risk of harm or death to those prescribed medicines which have the propensity to be fatal if taken outside the recommended guidance_
Action Should Be Taken
In my opinion action should be taken t0 prevent future deaths and believe you have the power to take such action.
