"Medication missing"

On an evening in Februrary 2024 I was taken through to the emergency department and was advised I needed to hand over all of my medication which included low dose naltrexone, 3mg. I handed this to a Nurse who had ' yellow team' stickers on their scrubs. 

I complied and was given a green slip to present upon discharge to get my medication back/ it would go with me to a new ward. 

They next evening I was advised that the Low dose naltrexone wasn't with my medication however this nurse advised me that they left voicemails with ED/ other wards to find out where this was. This was now two doses I had missed, doses of a medication I need to manage chronic illness symptoms. 

On the following evening I was advised that the Nurse had called the ED and the ED could not find the Low Dose Naltrexone, it was now ' lost.' I was advised nothing more can be done as it's a weekend night/ low staff however pharmacy might follow up in the morning, I was also advised that this isn't an un-common occurrence. This is now three doses I have missed which has contributed to a physical/ mental decline. 

I get that errors do occur ( like me waiting for an extra three hours on a weekend morning to be admitted as I'd been quote " forgotten about")  especially in an emergency department however I believe missing patients' medication, especially one as expensive as low dose naltrexone is not okay. Medication can be essential to a patients well-being and in a lot of cases survival.

I do request a follow up to find out what's happened to my low dose naltrexone 3mg and for it to be returned to me ASAP, if this medication can not be returned I do request compensation as 5/6 days worth of expensive medication has now ' gone missing.' 

Other than this medication error I can not fault the treatment I've received.
