Letter to premier and health minister calls on Ontario government to 'step up' and provide funding to keep the Sudbury facility in operation
The Registered Nurses Association of Ontario has written a letter of support calling on the Ontario government to step up with proper funding for Sudbury's supervised consumption facility, known as The Spot.
This comes at a time when it is believed the Sudbury site located at 24 Energy Court and operated by Réseau ACCESS Network is facing the possibility of being closed for lack of provincial funding."There is robust evidence that supervised injection services and overdose prevention services are saving lives as part of a comprehensive response to drug use," Casas wrote.
"The Sudbury Safe Consumption Site has been operating for about one year and has seen over 1000 visits. Despite this, funding for the service is not yet guaranteed and there is a real fear that it will shut it’s doors," said the RNAO letter.
