Abstract:
--
Excerpt:
Dear Premier Ford and Minister Elliott:
We are healthcare providers in Ontario who are extremely concerned about the potentially fatal impact of your government's recent hold on approvals for new overdose prevention sites (OPS) (1) and delayed opening of already approved OPS in Toronto, St. Catharines, and Thunder Bay (2). Evidence unequivocally demonstrates that supervised consumption services (SCS) save lives and keep communities safe. Delaying the opening of these sites will contribute to unnecessary illness and death.
