Health Unit Not Interested in Clinics for Prescription Pill Addicts


Health officials are still trying to come up with a plan to deal with the withdrawal of oxycontin from the market.

The province's health officials have been holding several meetings.

Dr. James Arthurs of the Northwestern Health Unit says setting up clinics to help people deal with prescription pill addictions is not in the cards.

Arthurs says there are similar supports already in place.
