What can the Complaints Committee do if a pharmacist refuses a censure?

  1. Nothing, as the pharmacist refused

  2. Refer to the discipline committee

  3. Issue a fine instead

  4. Require a public apology

The correct answer is: Refer to the discipline committee

The complaint committee can refer the matter to the discipline committee if the pharmacist refuses a censure because the discipline committee has the authority to impose disciplinary actions, such as fines or license suspension/revocation. Option A is incorrect because the complaint committee can still take action even if the pharmacist refuses. Option C is incorrect because a fine may not be a sufficient disciplinary action for the seriousness of the complaint. Option D is incorrect because a public apology may not be sufficient to address the harm caused by the pharmacist's actions and does not serve as a disciplinary action. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate course of action for the complaint committee to take.
