Provincial government loses court decision over autism funding

Aug 22 - 9:50 PM

VANCOUVER (CKNW/AM980) -- The provincial government has lost another court decision over its failure to fund an intensive treatment for autism.

Victoria is already appealing a B.C. Supreme Court decision that ordered the government to pay for the Lovass Early Intervention treatment that can cost up to 60 thousand dollars a year.

Now in a ruling released Friday, the court has also ordered government to fund the treatment for 23 other families not named in the original lawsuit.

The ruling is being appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada.
