VANCOUVER — Premier John Horgan said he was heartbroken by the recent death of an infant while waiting for an ambulance in Barrière, 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 Barrière and is the Opposition B.C. 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.
Unfortunately, John Horgan’s legacy will be the complete collapse of health care in BC. Hundreds of millions in UPCCs that are a failure. One million without fam Drs because his stubborn health minister refuses to effectively deal with the problem. People dying for lack of emerg
Quick, buy everyone their own electric car.
Time for a more direct democracy. These representatives are to prone to corruption. This recent spree of failures should not be tolerated. jjhorgan and adriandix should be forced into retirement
He needs to resign. You should hear what the local health care workers are saying.
Embarrassing already
