PHILPOTT FRUSTRATED OVER LACK OF OVERDOSE DATA
Health Minister Jane Philpott says she is frustrated with provinces and territories that haven’t provided overdose data in the midst of an unprecedented public health crisis. Philpott says she wants to release statistics on fatal overdoses but some jurisdictions don’t have records on drug-related deaths that occurred after 2014. Only B.C. and Alberta publicly report overdose deaths on a regular basis.
