Has The Legislature Received Its Report?

[______]

Section 333.26426

 

(i) The department shall submit to the legislature an annual report that does not disclose any identifying information about qualifying patients, primary caregivers, or physicians, but does contain, at a minimum, all of the following information:

 

(1) The number of applications filed for registry identification cards.

 

(2) The number of qualifying patients and primary caregivers approved in each county.

 

(3) The nature of the debilitating medical conditions of the qualifying patients.

 

(4) The number of registry identification cards revoked.

 

(5) The number of physicians providing written certifications for qualifying patients.

 

 

 

 

I have not heard of this report being submitted. Is this another case of the MDCH ignoring the law? Perhaps one of you who attends committee meetings could ask Mr Cushingberry if this has been received.

I wondered the same thing when I re-read the Act recently. We are looking into it.

[Elkisland]

Calmly awaiting this info for months.

It sure does seem like the MDCH is not happy with our MM law, I bet if they were in favor of it, we'd see a lot more being done.

This was pointed out in the last meeting. So they are not doing it and Cushingberry wants it.

Thanks John,

 

This is certainly not a priority issue for me but I love looking over this kind of info. I find it fascinating.

I hate to resurrect a dead thread, but the question is still lingering. 2 years and 5 days after the law became effective, has the MDCH provided the required annual report to the legislature? Have they provided a single report yet?

 

Curious minds want to know.

Glad this was brought back. This is the bare minimum we should expect in terms of accountability from MDCH.

Program Statistics:

 

* 81,445 original and renewal applications received since April 6, 2009.

* 44,384 patient registrations issued.

* The number of caregivers will be posted as soon as an accurate number can be obtained.

* 9,359 applications denied -- most due to incomplete application or missing documentation.

I don't think I want the state to provide information on cardholders by illness or county.

Thanks for the reply, I am aware of this information from the website. I am however very curious if they have met their obligations under the law, and definitely interested in the general breakdown by condition and county.

 

The breakdown of numbers would go along way towards quieting down the mass hysteria that some folks are trying to portray. As of right now the best we can do is guesstimate that there are on average 534 people in each county that are registered patients, in a state of over 9 million people spread across 83 counties, that is a small drop in the bucket, not a flood that is going to poison the populace (even if their claims about the harm of marijuana is true).... Know what I mean?

Might not calm down the mass hysteria, the clinic my doc sent me to charged $50 more for patients without any medical records, how many other clinics are doing that?

I heard one that was charging $100 with records and $200 without.

In September MDCH said in about 30 days the report would be done, if I remember correctly. It was at this event MDCH said this if some one remembers better than I.
