SUDBURY—A final report on a Sudbury Summit on Toxic Drugs, held last month, is expected to be released in the next few days, a representative of Public Health Sudbury and Districts (PHSD) told The Expositor recently.
At a Sudbury Board of Health meeting held earlier this month, a brief report was provided by Dr. Penny Sutcliffe, but her report did not provide any specific information on what might be done to resolve the crisis.
A summary on substance use was part of the January monthly report provided by Dr. Sutcliffe to the board. The report stated in part, “Over 200 participants, including over 50 organizations, attended with opportunities to hear panel discussions and a variety of speakers,” wrote Dr. Sutcliffe.
“Table discussions fostered identifying opportunities based on participant expertise and learning during the summit activities. Numerous ideas and solutions were prioritized for action following the summit.”
Dr. Sutcliffe’s report continued, “participants highlighted what is necessary to address gaps by outlining any existing actions or services that should cease, be amplified, and if there are any actions or services absent from the community that should be initiated.”
