The cost of drugs rising sharply at the CISSS

The significant increase in drug costs has been causing headaches at the CISSS de la Gaspésie for the past two years.
Since 2019, drug spending has almost reached $ 5M.
The amount is estimated at $ 2.7M for the fiscal year ending March 31, while last year the amount reached $ 2M.
The Integrated Health and Social Services Center expects the Ministry of Health to fill the shortfall for this year to help balance the 2020-2021 budget.
