Health Canada officials say more doses of children's painkillers and fever medication will be available soon, but they won't say how many or where exactly they'll be sent.
Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Supriya Sharma said manufacturers initially told the government in the spring they could address a "tightening" in supply by increasing production. But by August, they let Health Canada know that plan was failing. Linsey Hollett, the director of health product compliance for Health Canada, said that's confidential.She said distribution is being prioritized for hospitals but wouldn't say which ones, only that information provided by children's hospitals is being used to determine the need.
Bloc Quebecois MP Jean-Denis Garon asked him to name even one other country where politicians have had to demand health officials come to committee to explain why kids can't get medicine to bring down their fever.
