What is the policy for prescription pad security and storage?
The availability of prescriptions has led to controlled substance diversion on a number of occasions. Under Section 4.0 of the Delaware Controlled Substance regulations, only an individual practitioner who is authorized to prescribe controlled substances is allowed to issue a prescription for controlled substances. Practitioners and licensed healthcare facilities are held accountable for any loss or theft of controlled substances due to the loss or theft of blank prescriptions that are used to criminally obtain substances of abuse.
