Patients at Sandviken Hospital said to have obtained drugs via food supplier
Patients at Sandviken Hospital in Bergen are reported to have obtained narcotic substances through a food supplier. This is reported by NRK.
A source told NRK that the supplier who delivers food to the hospital has been used as a channel to smuggle drugs to patients. It is unclear what type of substances are involved and how many people are implicated.
Sandviken Hospital provides treatment for mental illness and addiction. Such an incident raises questions about security procedures at the institution and how it is possible for illegal substances to enter the hospital grounds through an external service provider.
NRK has not received answers as to whether the case has been reported to the police, or whether the hospital has implemented new measures to prevent similar incidents in future.
