Essentially, we are paying for a bunch of lawyers to come down on us like a ton of bricks for the earth-shattering crimes of

a) Dispensing 20mg of simvastatin instead of 40mg
b) Referring to the Council in anything other than a sycophantic "they must know best"tone.
c) Laughing in work.

Apparently, there are four new Statutory Commitees. all of which move at the speed of geological drift.

One has to wonder what would happen if an individual were to make a complaint to the society about the poor working conditions and open plan dispensary of a large multiple, let's call them Stoob. Would it be taken seriously, and would the Society come down like a ton of bricks on Stoob, or would Stoob use its money, power and influence to make the complaint go away, while they go on their merry way eroding the professionalism of pharmacy.
