Nurse took patient’s methadone for own use
Mary Carmel Quinn had conditions attached to the retention of her name on the Nursing Register after a fitness to practice committee found a number of allegations concerning her use of the heroin substitute drug to be proven.
Another nurse, Maria Lacap, was struck off after the committee determined that she had procured and consumed prescription drugs, including diazepam, which had not been prescribed for her, in July 2008.
