That, in the opinion of this House, the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care should develop a comprehensive and integrated Lyme disease strategy for Ontario that is consistent and integrated with the Action Plan on Lyme Disease being developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada;

That the strategy must enhance public awareness of Lyme Disease in Ontario and ensure that all scientifically verified tests and treatment for Acute and Chronic Lyme Diagnoses are available to patients and healthcare practitioners in Ontario;

That in developing this strategy, the Minister should recognize the impact that Lyme disease has on individuals and families across Ontario and focus on addressing access to care issues faced by people at every stage of the disease;

That in developing this strategy, the Minister should:

• Consider the availability of current laboratory tests and protocols to support clinical diagnoses, and specifically the efficacy of currently-available diagnostic mechanisms in Ontario compared to other jurisdictions;

• Evaluate the publicly-funded services and treatments available to Ontarians, with a view to improving the availability and accessibility of effective services and treatments within the province to provide optimal patient outcomes;

• Recognize the importance of health promotion, disease prevention, and early intervention in the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease;

• Consider the role of the Government of Ontario and local public health agencies in conducting tick surveillance and tabulating case numbers of Lyme disease; and

• Include any related issues that, in the view of the Minister, deserve or require consideration.

That in developing this strategy, the Minister should engage and consult with representatives of the healthcare community and patients' groups, including the Ontario Medical Association, the Ontario College of Family Physicians, the Association of Local Public Health Agencies, the Ontario Lyme Alliance, the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation, international scientific advisors and medical experts in the field of tick-borne diseases having diverse perspectives, workers' organizations and veterinary associations, amongst others, and accept written submissions from Ontarians; and
