Application alleging disability discrimination for refusal to fund long-term Demerol use dismissed.
The applicant, who suffers from chronic pain, alleged that the respondent discriminated against him on the basis of disability by refusing to fund the long-term use of Demerol under the Ontario Drug Benefit program.
The Tribunal found that the respondent's policy, which restricted Demerol funding due to safety concerns, did not differentiate on the basis of disability.
The exception made for one grandparented individual was based on date and previous entitlement, not disability.
The application was dismissed.
