Health Care Complaints Commission v Harris [2020] NSWCATOD 92

In the context of an enrolled nurse being convicted of the offence of unlawfully obtaining goods (personal custody) in relation to a hospital prescription pad, the Tribunal, having regard to all circumstances including that the offence was one incident in “a difficult period in the practitioner’s life, against a background of otherwise competent and diligent practice, and with no evidence as to any potential risk of recurrence” found that it was not in the public interest to cancel her registration and that a reprimand was the more appropriate sanction in the circumstances.
