Statutory Committee inquiries

The Statutory Committee will meet at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, 1 Lambeth High Street, London SE1, at 10am on Monday 17 February, Tuesday 18 February and Wednesday 19 February:

Monday 17 February

1. To announce the decision following the hearing of an inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society against a pharmacist proprietor and his locum pharmacist which alleged that the sale without prescription of a quantity of co-proxamol tablets amounted to misconduct. The complaint against the pharmacist proprietor also included allegations that the failure to account, by means of valid prescriptions or emergency supplies, for co-proxamol and Rohypnol supplied from the pharmacy and failure to ensure that all medicines possessed for the purpose of sale or supply are properly licensed, amounted to misconduct.

2. To hear an inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society against a pharmacist which alleges that practising as a pharmacist on 43 occasions between 14 May 2001 and 27 October 2001 while unregistered, amounts to misconduct.

3. To hear an inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society against a pharmacist which alleges that a dispensing error made by the pharmacist amounts to misconduct.

Tuesday 18 February

4. To hear an inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society against a pharmacist which alleges that the submission by the pharmacist of prescriptions to the Prescription Pricing Authority claiming payment for a full month's supply per prescription when only one week's supply had been dispensed against each prescription amounts to misconduct.

5. To hear an application from a person seeking registration with the Society. Following the hearing of the inquiry in January 2001, the committee had directed that the applicant's name should not be registered until the committee otherwise directs.

Wednesday 19 February

6. To hear an inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society against a pharmacist which alleges that the submission by the pharmacist of documents, which he had falsified, to a health authority, for the purpose of claiming payment to which he was not entitled, amounts to misconduct.
