What must occur to relocate or open a new pharmacy?

To relocate or open a new pharmacy, it is essential for the pharmacy manager and the applicant to attend a meeting of the pharmacy commission. This requirement ensures that regulatory authorities have a chance to review the application, discuss the proposed changes, and ensure that all legal and legislative criteria are met. The attendance at the meeting allows for direct interaction and clarifications regarding the operation's compliance with state laws and regulations.

The other options describe procedures that may not be specifically mandated for the relocation or opening of a new pharmacy. For instance, while conducting a full audit of the existing pharmacy is important for maintaining compliance, it is not a prerequisite for a relocation or new opening. Similarly, public comment periods, while potentially relevant in various contexts, do not typically apply directly to pharmacy relocation in Connecticut in the same way that a meeting with the pharmacy commission does. A site survey by a third-party can be a necessary step during the process but is not universally required for all pharmacy openings or relocations, as it may vary based on specific circumstances or local regulations.
