Statutory Committee inquiries

The Statutory Committee will meet at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, 1 Lambeth High Street, London SE1, on Monday 18 February 2002 at 10am to hear (1) an inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society against a pharmacist which includes allegations that dispensing errors made by the pharmacist and the failure to take responsibility for them, the pharmacist's unhelpful, rude and abrupt attitude towards patients and staff and the poor working practices adopted by the pharmacist may amount to misconduct. The Statutory Committee will further meet on Tuesday 19 February 2002.

The Statutory Committee will further meet on Tuesday 19 February 2002 at 10am to hear (3) an application for restoration from a person whose name has been removed from the Register and (4) an inquiry into a complaint by the Council against a pharmacist which includes allegations that the dispensing of a patient returned medicine, the presence on dispensary shelves of patient returned or uncollected medicines and date expired medicines and the supply of promazine syrup 25mg/5ml against a balance of a prescription calling for amantadine syrup 50mg/5ml, amounts to misconduct.

The Statutory Committee will further meet on Wednesday 20 February 2002 at 10am to hear (5) an inquiry into a complaint by the Council against a pharmacist which includes allegations that the pharmacist's failure, as a result of admitted problems caused by alcohol and debt, to deal with administration of post and paperwork to do with professional practice and practising as a pharmacist while removed from the Register for non-payment of retention fees may amount to misconduct. The Committee will also hear (6) an application for restoration from a person whose name was removed from the Register.
