The key idea is that there must be an auditable record whenever controlled drugs are destroyed, especially when a pharmacist performs the destruction with a witness. For date-expired Schedule 4 Part 1 CDs, the formal log kept for this purpose is the Destruction Register for Patient-Returned Controlled Drugs. Recording the details there ensures a traceable trail: you note what was destroyed, how much, when, and who witnessed it, along with the method of destruction. This aligns with regulatory requirements and helps the pharmacy demonstrate proper control of CDs.

Other options don’t fit because the main stock ledger tracks current stock levels, not destruction events; a patient’s record isn’t the place for documenting destruction of stock; and saying no recording is required conflicts with the need for an auditable destruction record.
