Provincial Minister of Health Urged to Consider Increasing Consumption and Treatment Services in Ontario

30/3/2021

0 Comments

 
Today members of the Municipal Drug Strategy Coordinator's Network of Ontario co-authored a letter to the Honourable Provincial Minister of Health Christine Elliot.

To quote from the letter:

"On behalf of the Municipal Drug Strategy Coordinators Network of Ontario (MDSCNO), we urge the Province of Ontario to implement Consumption and Treatment Services (CTS) throughout the province to save lives and improve the health, safety and well-being of people who use drugs in Ontario. Capping the number of CTS in the province creates regional disparities that do not align with communities’ needs. We, therefore, request that CTS be made available in every municipality that requests one. Opening CTS throughout the province will have a significant impact in averting the escalating number of preventable drug overdose deaths in Ontario."
