Statutory Committee decisions

Set out below are the outcomes of inquiries heard before the Statutory Committee of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain on Monday 24 July, Tuesday 25 July, Wednesday 26 July and Thursday 27 July 2006.

1. Following the inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society against Richard Gregory Woodroffe (registration number 68919), Margaret Mary Rita Gorman (registration number 67793) and Alan Woodcock Ltd (company identification number 1001329), the committee resolved to take no further action against Mrs Gorman or the company. In relation to Mr Woodroffe, the committee found proved the Council’s allegation that a dispensing error involving the supply of 100 Celance 1mg tablets against a prescription for 200 Pergolide 50µg tablets amounted to misconduct. Accordingly, the committee resolved to issue Mr Woodroffe with a reprimand.

2. The inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society against Bijal Vithalbhai Patel (registration number 84459) and Greenoaks Pharmacy Ltd (company identification number 1003087) was adjourned to be resumed at a later date.
