“An earlier digital prescription system did not catch on, but we learned from it. We are working with the provinces and territories to find a better way forward. We will also help them share digital health records with this bill.”
“Mr. Speaker, as I have said, PrescribeIT was introduced in the last Parliament, under the last government, at the request of provinces and territories. Unfortunately, the uptake was not high. There were a lot of lessons learned. We continue to collaborate with the provinces and territories on a path forward. At the same time, we will support provinces and territories on their digital solutions with Bill S-5.”
