Question of the Day: Follow Up to Inspections Where Serious Violations Are Found

Should states or the federal government be required to conduct followup inspections once serious violations are found at  compounding pharmacies or businesses, assuming the pharmacy or business continues to operate or is it sufficient for pharmacies or businesses to merely state in writing  that they are now in compliance with all rules and regulations after such violations are found?

This may seem like a no-brainer to most reading it, but in fact in some states such as Texas there are actual cases where violations have been found but no reinspection was done and the pharmacy was allowed to simply send in a letter stating it had corrected all deficiencies.
