B.C.’s chief coroner addresses ‘questions’ about prescribed safer supply program
Description
June 5, 2023
Chief coroner Lisa Lapointe addressed "questions" that have been circulating about the role of prescribed safer supply in B.C.'s overdose crisis in a Mon. June 5, 2023 press conference in Victoria. Statistically, she said Vancouver's Downtown Eastside is not "the face" of toxic drug poisoning deaths, nor has prescribed hydromorphone played a significant role in fatalities.
