Commissions
We have been engaged in all aspects of work we originally considered an Accountable Officer would require. We have investigated concerns (outside of the police remit), carried out inspections using our experience, witnessed destructions, and monitored the ‘pilot’ for the Controlled Drug Record Card – mentioned below, where we are now part of the Department of Health working group.

If you are the Accountable Officer and would like assistance from ourselves – using our expertise and experiences over the last 3 years?

News Update – dated 1st of December 2008
Ray Humphreys from the ‘Bureau’ who assisted with the ‘pilot’ in THPCT of the Controlled Drug Record Card has accepted an invitation to be part of the Department of Health working group to decide on whether it will be implemented into legislation.

FYI - within the Shipman Report and the NPC Guidelines it mentions a PDRC – for the transference of CD’s when dispensed to the patient. The PDRC name has been changed to the CDRC and it is this document which hopes to fill that gap, there is no doubt it is needed. In 2007 a ‘pilot’ was commissioned by the DH in 12 PCT area’s. It would be fair to say the ‘pilot’ did have a mixed reception. The first discussions on the subject by the working group are scheduled for December 2008.

Information
The Health Act of 2006 received Royal Assent in July 2006. It creates new challenges for everyone – Primary Care Trusts, Police, General Medical Council, Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, Healthcare Commission and other Healthcare Agencies in the United Kingdom.

SI 2006 3148 - The Controlled Drugs (Supervision of Management and Use) Regulations of 2006 made the Health Act of 2006 effective from the 1st of January 2007.

Notes:
the Act gives a ‘criminal liability’ for person(s) failing to comply with powers granted to those involved in the monitoring of Controlled Duty and a ‘civil liability’ for PCT’s , NHS Trust etc and person(s) engaged to fail to implement the Health Act of 2006.
Destruction of Controlled Drugs - police will NOT be providing this service or should NOT be doing so. It will be the responsibility of the Accountable Officer and his staff.

Do you want your staff engaged on this time consuming practice – we can provide this service which we believe is at a justifiable cost.
