Expired medicine, as well as illegal or smuggled "grey medicine" is being dispensed to some inmates through correctional services department (DCS) pharmacies, says the Special Investigating Unit.
In its interim report to Parliament tabled on Wednesday for the period April to September 2005, the SIU – headed by Willie Hofmeyr – said it was investigating the procurement of medication at these pharmacies.
