Written Question 24-15(5): Chronic Pain Claimants

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

Of the 39 claimants diagnosed with chronic pain, how many are now receiving permanent or temporary benefits for chronic pain?

Of the 23 injured workers who have returned to work, how many returned to the kind of work and pay that they had before being diagnosed? Do any have outstanding claims for compensation for chronic pain?

If an injured worker declines to participate in training or pain management programs, what criteria does WCB use to terminate or adjust their benefits?
