New information is expected later today on New Brunswick patients suffering from atypical neurological decline.
The Green Party is holding a news conference in Fredericton with leader David Coon and health critic Megan Mitton and will include patients and families.
According to party spokesperson Josh O’Donnell, details are expected about the number of patients, publication of their private medical data by government officials and recent reporting on glyphosate testing.
Mitton has urged the health minister to investigate potential environmental causes related to disabling neurological symptoms in relatively young New Brunswickers.
Provincial health officials identified a mystery brain disease in 48 patients in 2021 but a year later a committee found no evidence of a novel illness.
