an issue that arose in a previous inquiry.
2. To deliver the committee’s fuller reasons in an inquiry heard in January
2004 in which the committee decided to take no further action.

Tuesday 20 July
7. To resume consideration of an inquiry adjourned from 10 December 2003 into
a complaint by the Council of the Society against a pharmacist which alleges
that a failure to ensure professional indemnity insurance was in place and
failure to co-operate with a Society Inspector investigating his professional
indemnity insurance may amount to misconduct.
8. To resume consideration of an inquiry adjourned from 24 February 2004. The
inquiry was a new and resumed inquiry. The new inquiry considered whether allegations
that two dispensing errors and failure to record the errors appropriately in
an error log book, may amount to misconduct. The resumed inquiry, first heard
by the Committee in September 2002 and adjourned for 12 months, concerned the
supply of 535ml of sucralfate liquid without the authority of a prescription,
the supply of Percutol 2 per cent ointment against a prescription calling for
GTN 0.2 per cent ointment and breaches of the legislation relating to the supply
of prescription only medicines.
9. An inquiry into a pharmacist convicted of 28 offences of making an indecent
photograph of a child.
Wednesday 21 July
10. An inquiry into a pharmacist convicted of three offences of false accounting
and three offences of making a false instrument.
11. An inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society against a pharmacist
which alleges that the application of a system which resulted in overpayment
to the pharmacist by the Prescription Pricing Authority (on behalf of the Department
of Health) may amount to misconduct.
