The Trust appealed against a sentence imposed under the 1968 Act after a staff member supplied a prescription not of the quality specified in the prescription.
Held: The fine was reduced. Where a body existed on a non-profit public service basis, and delegated its duties to properly qualified and trained staff, the court should acknowledge when imposing a fine, the potential effect on the services it provided.
Judges:
Lord Justice Toulson, Mr Justice Griffith Williams and Judge Brodrick
