Mental Health Services Report

Mental health and addiction services are two topics being studied by a new provincial government group.

Committee member Sylvia Jones says they'll be bringing their report to various provincial ministries for their consideration.

"There was a number of concerns, both First Nations and rural, with prescription drug abuse," says Jones. "Oxycontin being one that comes to mind."

Jones says the remoteness of the communities consulted make it hard to provide mental health and addiction services.
