NHS hospital dispenses baby medicine six months out of date An NHS hospital has apologised after dispensing medicine for a baby that was six months beyond its use-by date.
Kent and Canterbury Hospital also admitted it had other out-of-date boxes of the same medication, Gaviscon, on its shelves.
Four-month-old Phoebe Nightingale was given the expired medication to treat severe reflux earlier this month.
An internal investigation was sparked when her furious mother pointed out to staff that the medicine’s use-by date expired two months before her daughter was even born. The Daily Telegraph
