The provincial government will take a direct role in an external panel reviewing how the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) handles potentially dangerous patients, Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott says.
Following the escape of several patients, including a meat cleaver killer who had been assigned to a secure unit in CAMH, Elliott announced Tuesday she will appoint a government adviser to sit on the panel that will look at hospital procedures for issuing passes and granting privileges to forensic patients.
