VICTORIA — A report from B.C.'s provincial health officer recommends the province expand its "safer supply" program to prevent overdoses, including allowing access to alternatives to unregulated drugs without a prescription.
In her response to Henry's recommendations, Whiteside echoes Eby's comments, saying the model of distributing safer-supply drugs through prescriptions separates "people who are at the highest risk of death and harm from the poisoned drug supply." Henry says a system to allow access to safer, regulated alternatives to fentanyl and other drugs is necessary because a significant number of people who died from the unregulated drug supply did not have substance-use disorders and cannot be protected by "medicalized approaches."
"Ongoing monitoring, evaluation and research is required to assess the degree to which diversion is occurring, and its impacts," Henry says in the 88-page report. LONDON — The European Union on Thursday accepted Apple’s pledge to open its “tap to pay” iPhone payment system to rivals as a way to resolve an antitrust case and head off a potentially hefty fine.The latest sign that inflation is cooling makes it more likely the Federal Reserve will be able to gain enough confidence to cut interest rates as early as September.
