Analysts' Annual Report.
The tables below will give an idea of the representative and
varied nature of the samples submitted for analysis.
The somewhat high adulteration reported in the Drugs submitted
occurred largely as a result of faulty dispensing of Prescriptions
made up for National Health Insurance Patients, and
affords evidence that " Panel " Prescriptions are not always
dispensed with due care.
The following table shows the number and nature of the
samples analysed, the details of Drugs and " Other Articles "
being given below :—
| Nature of Sample. | Examined | Adulterated. | ||||
