NHS nurse sacked for stealing two tablets from Merseyside hospital

A woman has been sacked for taking two tablets from Arrowe Park Hospital where she worked.

Francesca Morgan, from Woolton, said she took the tablets to treat a headache during a shift. The 32-year-old was caught taking the prescriptions from the hospital's pharmacy "without a legitimate reason" a court heard.

She took a co-codamol pill and then a paracetamol tablet after she began feeling unwell while working. Before this, it was reported police had already begun an investigation after health officials noticed that prescription medication had been going missing from their stock.
