Morphine tablets were replaced – to unknown pills

The unknown pills must have been repainted to mimic real morphine tablets, but the forgery was discovered when a nurse went through one of the residents’ drugs.

After the first discovery, all residents’ doses were examined, and then it emerged that another person was hit.

The drugs were stored in locked cabinets, as per P4 Norrbotten.

The incident has been reported to the Inspection for Health and Care (IVO).
