Board approves new pharmacy applications, tables others; CVS remodel cleared
Summary
The Connecticut Board of Pharmacy approved several new pharmacy applications, postponed one pending revised drawings and approved a CVS remodel at its West Hartford location during its Aug. 27 meeting.
At its Aug. 27 meeting the Connecticut Board of Pharmacy approved new-application items and considered several remodeling and zoning-related matters for pharmacies in the state.
The board approved the new application for Jerry Scribe Connecticut LLC and approved the application for Pharmacy Express of Waterbury. New Hampton Pharmacy in Hamden was tabled to the September meeting pending new drawings. Shelton-area new-application review was also tabled. The board approved a remodel application for CVS Pharmacy (store 11072) in West Hartford.
During appearances, applicants answered standard licensing questions required by the board, including whether physician ownership would involve prescribers who could write Connecticut prescriptions, whether sterile or nonsterile compounding would occur, and whether HIPAA-sensitive information would reside on devices outside a licensed pharmacy area. Applicants confirmed plans for compounding areas where applicable and discussed zoning and local permitting timelines.
Frank Wang, an applicant who said he would serve as a pharmacy manager if approved, swore an oath before the board and acknowledged that manager approval is contingent on the commission's final action. The board chair reminded applicants that manager status is not final until the commission votes.
On the New Hampton Pharmacy application, the board noted the applicant must submit scaled, labeled architectural drawings; board staff and drug control agents must be able to verify the plans for inspection purposes. The board tabled New Hampton to allow applicants to provide updated, scale drawings.
Votes on the motions were taken by voice; board minutes record aye votes for the approved applicants and abstentions or tabling where noted in the record. These approvals and postponements affect licensing timelines and local zoning steps for the applicants.
The board moved on after recording the licensing votes.
