To ask the Scottish Government how many Buvidal injections NHS boards have returned to community pharmacies for destruction due to non-attendance at appointments at clinics in each month of the last three years, and what the total value of any such waste has been, broken down by NHS board.
Buvidal® is a Schedule 3 controlled drug and as such there is no requirement to record its destruction. Therefore the Scottish Government does not hold the requested data.
