Medical Officer of Health Seeks Input


The medical officer of health for the Northwestern Health Unit says its going to take a community-wide approach in dealing with the withdrawl of oxycontin.

But Doctor James Arthur says placing blame on the reasons for its high use in Ontario is not the answer.

Arthurs is inviting area residents to offer their opinions through an email set up on the Health Unit's website.

He's encouraging people to identify solutions than offer criticism to talkpublichealth@nwhudot.on.ca.
