The cost of Lynx and Methadone
Speaking with a pharmacist in Hull last week the issue of stock
being stolen by methadone patients cropped up. We discussed the
balance of the ethical issue of allowing patients to return
regularly that were stealing products daily and the cost
balance.
A can of Lynx deodorant costs less than two pounds to
replace and Methadone as a professional service could bring in a
few thousand pounds for the company. On paper the answer was
obvious but interestingly he had implemented a two strike policy
for methadone patients caught stealing.
He felt that the benefit of making other customers feel safe and
comfortable outweighed the revenue being brought in by the service.
How would you react to this issue or is this a current issue for
you?
