A National Audit Office (NAO) report found 6.5 million units of Tamiflu, worth ?74 million, had to be destroyed at the height of a flu pandemic. The report blamed ?poor record keeping?.
Margaret Hodge, chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, said taxpayers? money had been ?squandered?. She said: ?There is simply no excuse for this waste.?
Tamiflu has to be kept refrigerated below 46F (8C) to be effective.
Because proper records were not kept it was impossible to know if the doses could be used.
