The UK Health Act 2006 introduced new monitoring and inspection requirements for controlled drugs. These new arrangements are designed to work within and alongside existing governance systems to promote the safe, secure and effective use of controlled drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regulations made under the Health Act – the Controlled Drugs (Supervision of Management and Use) Regulations 2006 require healthcare organisations to appoint an Accountable Officer to be accountable for the safe management and use of controlled drugs in their organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Accountable Officer for Controlled Drugs is Roisin Kavanagh, Director of Pharmacy NHS Ayrshire & Arran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All incidents and concerns relating the use or management of CDs must be reported to the Accountable Officer. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All CD incident reports must include details of any investigations undertaken and actions taken to prevent recurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
