Promise to fix prescription drug monitoring program broken: d’Entremont

PC Health critic Chris d’Entremont says Minister Leo Glavine broke his promise to fix the prescription monitoring program.

A Global report said despite promises in 2014 and this past June, the government recently extended its self-imposed deadline to next March.

April’s Auditor General report said they hadn’t fixed gaps that prevent abuse or misuse, and the Health Department was ineffective in reviewing prescriber reports.
