It was during the spring of 2022 that the nurse allegedly paid out narcotic-classified medicine to patients, but instead took the medicine home herself.

The exact amount of narcotics suspected to have been stolen is unclear, but according to the police investigation, it is about 20 ampoules of morphine and one ampoule of oxycodone.

When the hospital reviewed the withdrawals, it was discovered that it had been prescribed to patients who did not need the medicine.

The head of the department confronted the employee, who then told her that she had relapsed into addiction.

The police searched the house

The hospital filed a police report and a search of the house found a syringe and a tablet of another narcotic drug at the nurse's home.

- We have very strict routines around the handling of drug-classified preparations.

It is important to ensure that it is maintained.

As soon as it was discovered, the person was suspended, says Marianne Kondrup Halland's head of communications.

The person admits to the crime.
