| 1.1 | The pharmacy does not adequately identify and manage the risks associated with providing its services. It has poor stock security and management procedures. The pharmacy regularly orders unusually large volumes of codeine linctus. And the pharmacy cannot properly account for these medicines. This indicates serious systemic weaknesses in the risk management and governance arrangements, which presents a serious risk to patient safety. |
