Premier John Horgan said he was heartbroken by the recent death of an infant while waiting for an ambulance in Barriere, B.C., adding his government had made a “significant investment” in rural and remote medical transport.
Horgan said the province was working with firefighters and the paramedics union to ensure first responders had adequate training and were able to act quickly during what he called “extraordinarily challenging times.” Peter Milobar, the Kamloops-North Thompson MLA who represents Barriere and is the Opposition BC Liberal finance critic, said the infant’s death was a tragedy that highlighted the need for more ambulances across the province.
“First responders aren’t the answer to fixing the ambulance service problem,” he said in an interview Tuesday, confirming that his members had been called to respond to the eight-month-old in cardiac arrest last week.“The system works very well with first responders and volunteer responder groups, but their role is not to treat and transport,” he said. “We need ambulances that are staffed with two paramedics that can treat and transport somebody in their time of emergency,” he said.
Paramedic shortage in BC? Plenty of Managers sitting in their offices jerking off collecting $150 grand a year.
Another socialist healthcare system working well.
