A legislative committee will investigate how watered down chemotherapy drugs were given to about 1,200 patients in Ontario and New Brunswick. The committee will look into the apparent lack of oversight, standards and monitoring of companies like Marchese Hospital Solutions, which provided the diluted drugs. It will also probe Ontario's pharmaceutical regulations and inspection procedures, and what impact the diluted drugs may have had on cancer patients. Too much saline was added to the bags containing two cancer drugs, which effectively watered down the prescribed doses by up to 20%. Some patients, including children, were given the drugs for up to a year. The governing Liberals have appointed a pharmacy expert to review the province's cancer drug system and put together a working group that includes doctors, Cancer Care Ontario and Health Canada. The legislative committee is expected to deliver a report within 90 days, with a possible 30-day extension.
