| 4.3 | The pharmacy does not adequately store and manage medicines to make sure they are safe to supply to people. Pharmacy team members do not follow procedures to check for out-of-date medicines. And, there are out of date items on the shelves. They mix medication from different manufacturers in the same box. And they transfer medicines from the manufacturer’s packaging to another container. They don’t always record details such as batch number and expiry dates. So, there is a risk that they will supply medicines to people that may not be safe to use. |
