Newfoundland and Labrador's Health Minister, Jerome Kennedy said that the drug errors connected to the hospitalization of the 14 year-old acutely sick boy at the Janeway Children's Hospital, after receiving higher than normal levels of the drug cyclosporine, a powerful drug used to suppress a person's immune system, were highly unacceptable.

Eastern Health CEO Vickie Kaminski said, "The person was very sick before they started to receive Cyclosporine. They received Cyclosporine. This didn't help them. In fact, it exacerbated their condition perhaps. We're not even sure of that".

Kaminski shared that of the total 234 patients affected by the problem, 221 were alive and there was no reason to believe that the deaths of 13 patients who received Cyclosporine were related to drug errors.

The province's Health Minister emphasized that the Government wanted to see Justice Margaret Cameron's recommendations implemented.

"We have gone through the Cameron Inquiry. We have learned the lessons of the Cameron Inquiry and if people cannot learn those lessons, or live within the lessons learned, then there will be changes made", Minister of Health Jerome Kennedy said.
