Hours facility dedicates to medication safety position

I am currently working in a medication safety role at my hospital. I am wondering if some of you would be willing to share how many hours your hospital dedicates to medication safety and then the size hospital that you work with?

Also do you mainly have a pharmacist that takes the lead on medication events and error prevention or his there some nursing roles related to medication safety as well?
