British Columbia health leaders will be reviewing the province’s safe supply program and say the review will be based on data, not divisive politics.
The announcement came during a news conference Monday that included Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, Chief Coroner Lisa LaPointe, Kelsey Louie of the First Nations Health Authority and Jennifer Charlesworth, the B.C. representative for children and youth.
The four presented a united front in support of a safe supply of drugs and their determination to debunk what they called polarizing rhetoric about who is accessing it and its impact on B.C. communities.
“Facts must take precedence over partisanship,” said LaPointe.
