Health
Question period dealt with PrescribeIT, a federal electronic prescribing program that the government cancelled. The Conservatives said nearly $300 million was spent on software that filled only a small share of prescriptions, that most of the technology is now in private hands, and that no one was held accountable, asking the health minister to explain. The Liberals said the program was started under the previous government at the request of provinces and territories, that uptake was low, and that lessons learned would guide continued work with the provinces, pointing to the Connected Care for Canadians Act (Senate bill S-5) on making health information technology systems work together.Written by AI from the debate.
