COMMISSIONER ITEMS <br />14.A. COMMISSIONER PETER D. O'BRYAN, CHAIRMAN -NONE <br />14.B. COMMISSIONER BOB SOLARI, VICE CHAIRMAN <br />14.B.1. PAIN CLINICS <br />(Clerk's Note: This item was heard following Item 10. C.1. Public Notice Items, and is <br />placed here for continuity). <br />Vice Chairman Solari asked the Commissioners if they wished to address the growing <br />problem of Pain Clinics which are opening up here and in other counties, and which are <br />dispensing prescription medications without checking on the medical necessity for them. He <br />read from the Interim Report of the Broward County Grand Jury - The Proliferation of Pain <br />Clinics in South Florida (on file), to provide statistics highlighting the seriousness of this <br />situation. He remarked on the necessity to make a clear distinction between "pill mills" and <br />legitimate chronic pain centers. <br />28 <br />June 1, 2010 <br />
