The coroner's concerns
1. uncontrolled oramorph in community
“Oramorph is a controlled drug the storage, handling and administration of which in institutional settings is highly regulated. However, there are no similar regulations which govern its use in a community setting. There is no requirement for the recipient of the drug in the community to keep it in a safe place and ensure that it cannot be accessed by others”
