well it's actually *not* accessible to every clinician unless they are all 
(inadvisably) provided the gm-dbo which access to even just browse the audit 
trail requires. Therefore the current situation is inadvisable, and/or doubly 
impractical.

We need to remove the constraint on replicates of a substance. Replicates are 
innocuous when inactive,

Replicates among existing drugs may, or may not, be intentional. They may, or 
may not, be a good idea. However GNUmed may helpfully visually indicate such 
states (with colour and ideally also total daily doses > a reference amount), 
it must not refuse to store reality.
