Medicine left in open draw

Story from nhs.uk

"Medicine left in open draw"

About: Royal Shrewsbury Hospital

Disgraceful my husband had his medicine left in his bedside locker open over 4 days, there was a great deal of medicine potentially lethal, including class C drug. Anyone could have helped themselves or tampered with medicine appalling. Did not supply sharps container even saying they were fetching one the only place he could put the used needles were in the plastic bag on locker. Nurses seem to do what they like and the many agency staff just stroll around doing nothing.
