“What we want to make sure is that it is transparent, that we understand whether there are improved outcomes for patients or not. That has to be the focus of the of the funding that that we receive not only from the federal government but the work that the province is doing.” – Shirley Osborne, Opposition Health Critic (BCU)

The province has also agreed to work with the First Nations Health Authority (FHNA) to improve access to culturally appropriate and trauma-informed treatment and care and increase access to mental health and addictions services as the overdose crisis continues at a relentless pace.

All provinces and territories have agreed to the deal in principle from the accord earlier this year, with the exception of Quebec.
