CURE SOUGHT, PREVENTION A PRIORITY

Re: Closing Vancouver's Insite tantamont to murder, (Letters, Sept. 7).

The opinions expressed by Dr. Keith Martin are not facts but a
political ploy.

Having been involved in such a medical problem for many years I
believe that a cure is sought but prevention is the priority, and this
is seldom mentioned by the media.

Compromise is not the answer and may remove the search for the cause,
in this case, being the drug dealers and money, which causes the
problems of crime, health and other social disorders.

Goverments may support financially the community organizations with
beneficial plans but cannot replace them.
