USP 800 Designated Person (DP)

As a matter of curiosity I'm interested in how other institutions are handling the Designated Person requirement in USP 800

1) Is your DP only responsible for USP 800 implementation or do they have other responsibilities?
2) How many FTEs do you have assigned to the DP role?
3) Does your DP draft the non-pharmacy related procedures?

Thanks!
