The following statement was issued today by Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care:<\/p>\n

“The opioid crisis in Ontario is a tragic and growing issue, one we are continuing to work diligently to combat.\u00a0As part of our government’s commitment to openness, transparency and evidence-based decision-making, we are continuing to make relevant data widely available, including to health care providers and planners working on the front lines, as well as to the public.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Today, we have updated the Interactive Opioid Tracker<\/a> with data from April 1 – June 30, 2017. As part of the $222 million announced last month to fight the opioid crisis, Ontario is making $21 million immediately available to help community-based addiction organizations in their response to this crisis.\u00a0In addition, our government is making fentanyl testing strips available that can identify whether a substance contains fentanyl. These strips will at first be made available at all current supervised injection services and pop-up sites and will be evaluated for further distribution.\u00a0We know that our work isn’t over — we continue to work closely with our partners, increasing access to treatment and supports as we fight this public health crisis together.”<\/em><\/p>\n
