Cancer drug underdosing report due out in summer






Hamilton Spectator
5/28/2013

In the wake of the underdosing controversy, the expert investigating the situation for the province says the need for oversight should extend beyond licensing. ?

Dr. Jake Thiessen was selected by the Health Minsitry to investigate the underdosing of chemotherapy drugs in Ontario. ?

He says there should be not only licensing standards, but also specific requirements for education and experience for the companies that pre mix drugs for hospitals.? ?

Marchese Hospital Solutions of Hamilton prepared the drug-and-saline mixture that was supplied to four hospitals in Ontario and one in New Brunswick.

The governing Ontario Liberals brought in rules May 15th to close the gap in oversight for companies that mix drugs for hospitals.

The institutions can only purchase drugs from accredited, licensed or otherwise approved suppliers.

Thiessen's full report will be presented to Health Minister Deb Matthews July 12th and she has promised to make it public.?
