Written Question 4-15(5): Statistical Information

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for the Workers’ Compensation Board.

Can the Minister provide statistical information over the past five years as follows:

the number of WCB applicants whose claim included a medical diagnosis of chronic pain;

the number of those same applicants who succeeded in obtaining temporary short-term benefits and permanent long-term benefits; and

the number of Workers' Compensation Board claimants whose benefits were affected if they were diagnosed as suffering from chronic pain.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
