Williams, PharmD, Consulting Pharmacist. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> Dr. Dennis M. Williams has provided professional services as a consulting <br /> pharmacist since 1987 through a contract with the UNC-School of Pharmacy. The <br /> University has decided to discontinue this service, however, Dr. Williams is <br /> willing to continue providing the services on a private basis. The attached <br /> contract is similar to previous agreements with the University except for the <br /> contracting party being Dr. Williams instead of the University. In addition, the <br /> County Attorney has requested more specific language regarding the Professional <br /> Liability Insurance to which Dr. Williams has agreed. However, the contract <br /> has been delayed in submitting to the Commissioners because of difficulties <br /> Dr. Williams has had obtaining a statement from his insurance company which the <br /> County Attorney has requested. Dr. Williams has agreed to change his insurance <br /> company to one which will provide the requested statement. <br /> This contract is being presented to the Board of Commissioners for the FY92-93 <br /> in order to encumber the funds. The County Attorney has recommend that payment <br /> not be issued until Dr. Williams provides the statement requested and <br /> Dr. Williams has agreed to this. <br /> This arrangement is acceptable to the Health Department as a cost effective means <br /> of assuring that pharmacy services meet all applicable laws, regulations and <br /> standards. The terms, duties and dollar amount for the pharmacy contract remain <br /> unchanged. Funds necessary for this contract are included in the approved budget <br /> for FY 1992-93. <br />
