Explain why it is momentous that a aid home maintain its archives for recipt of medication?

When granny pops off and the relatives start asking difficult question, records are the solely way to prove it wasn't you that over did the morphine ...

And (of course) when the NHS Auditors drop by to ask where on earth all the monies gone ...
