Thank you.
You spoke about what we refer to as the “wraparound services” these safe consumption sites provide. The one located in my community of Ottawa Centre at Somerset West Community Health Centre is part of a community centre, so they have that capacity. Every time I have conversations with them, they talk about the social detriments to health. They talk about adverse childhood experiences, trauma, poverty, mental illnesses and chronic pain—all factors that lead to an individual taking these substances, with all the effects that go with them.
Can you talk about that type of patient and the kind of comprehensive approach required to give them health care services that are fulsome when dealing with all those challenges they may be facing?
