Definition: This block contains a wide variety of disorders that differ in severity and clinical form but that are all attributable to the use of one or more psychoactive substances, which may or may not have been medically prescribed.

Other diagnoses should be coded when other psychoactive substances have been taken in intoxicating amounts (common fourth character .0) or to the extent of causing harm (common fourth character .1), dependence (common fourth character .2) or other disorders (common fourth character .3-.9).

For us, in Correctional Services, it's very difficult to look at HIV in the absence of other blood-borne diseases, especially hepatitis C. Our prevalence for hepatitis C is close to 40%, that we know of, so we very much need to look at HIV within the context of a blood-borne disease strategy, which I know is a bit different from the response you heard for your question, do we participate in a population health approach?

I know the hon. member for St. Paul's has done a lot of work on behalf of people afflicted with hepatitis C. She should be congratulated by all members of parliament on both sides of the House for her continuous effort in this field To reiterate, the month of May already recognizes the seven strains of hepatitis.

I am talking about hepatitis C. I want to congratulate the member for St. Paul's for her dedication to this cause and for her efforts to have the month of May recognized as hepatitis C awareness month. I know the member has worked tirelessly to defend this cause and I am glad she decided to raise the issue in the House.
