Native drug abuse alarms Skeena MP SKEENA REFORM MP Mike Scott has joined in criticism of the abuse of prescription drugs within native vil- lages. “The auditor general reports that be- tween 1986 and 1996 there were numerous accounts of prescription drug addiction and prescription drug related deaths of aboriginals across the coun- try,’’ said Scott. In one three-month period, the federal auditor general states that 15,000 people went to three or more pharmacies, 1,600 obtained more than 15 drugs and more than 700 had 50 prescriptions or more. Scott’s particularly critical of how money spent on aboriginal care is ad- ministered and of the level of accoun- tability tied to the spending. ““Over. $1 -billion is spent on aboriginal health care each year and yet the auditor-general states the govern- ment has insufficient information on how two-thirds of its programs are working,’’ said Scoit. The MP noted that the auditor general has confirmed that the health of aboriginals is much worse than that of the general Canadian population. Compared with the general Canadian population, the infant mortality for aboriginals is 1.7 times higher, life ex- peclancy is seven to eight years lower and the suicide rate for young people is five to eight times higher. Scott is the official opposition critic for Indian affairs and northern develop- ment, It’s a portfolio he’s familiar with since being elected in 1993. Are He ye aed shed Si The 98 Toyota.
