All the complaints raised concerns over narcotic handling, administration, documentation, and possible diversion. The Investigation Committee made the Summary Protection Order given concerns that the licensee may have been working while not fit to practice, the possibility of narcotic diversion, and a failure to be forthcoming with the college.
A Summary Protection Order is an interim risk mitigation measure made to protect the public during an investigation. Measures taken by way of a Summary Protection Order relate to concerns raised with the College that have not been fully investigated and have not been proven.
