Can the authority of the Complaints Committee be avoided by changing pharmacy ownership after a complaint has been made?

  1. Yes, it can be avoided

  2. No, it cannot be avoided

  3. Only with legal intervention

  4. It depends on the complaint

The correct answer is: No, it cannot be avoided

Changing pharmacy ownership does not absolve the previous owner or the pharmacy of any previous complaints or allegations made against them. The Complaints Committee has the authority to investigate and make decisions based on evidence and facts, regardless of changes in ownership. Legal interventions may be required if the new owner is not cooperating with the investigation or if there is evidence that they were aware of and perpetuated the issues prior to the change in ownership. Thus, the authority of the Complaints Committee cannot be avoided by simply changing ownership.
