The Court of Appeal of Alberta’s decision to hear an emergency appeal over new rules that would require supervised #ConsumptionSites to ask clients for personal health care numbers is an important development. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new… #harmreduction #opioidscrisis
The new rules are scheduled to take effect on January 31, 2022 and the expedited appeal hearing is planned for January 27 at 10 a.m. Alberta’s doctors will be watching with interest to see how this issue unfolds in the courts.
Although the government has committed to no one being turned away from these services because of a lack of ID, it will still be a barrier for some.
Alberta’s doctors remain committed to doing everything we can to protect Albertans and prevent future opioid poisoning deaths. We will continue to ask questions, listen and engage in conversations on this critically important issue. #harmreduction #opioidscrisis
