For controlled drugs and personally administered (PA) items, the retention of invoices is crucial
for compliance and audit purposes. Here’s a general guideline:
Controlled Drugs Invoices : These should be kept for a minimum of 2 years. However, it’s often
recommended to retain them for longer, such as 6 years, to align with VAT record-keeping
requirements and to ensure availability for any potential audits or inspections.
Personally Administered Items Invoices : Similarly, invoices for PA items should be kept for at
least 6 years. This is because VAT is often involved, and VAT records must be retained for 6 years
from the date of supply or purchase.
