A year\u002Dend report from the Leeds Grenville Paramedic Service showed that its ambulances had responded to 2,571 calls for help in Ottawa since 2018
“It is certainly not off the radar, but … the motion as it was written was more about moving forward in a more quick manner than what makes sense for a long-term successful strategy,” Smith-Gatcke said.
This, at the time, prompted Beddows to suggest sending the city an invoice to recover those costs, but to create lasting change, he said they need to take their time picking the best strategy.Article content Beddows said at the March meeting his concern was not with the fact local paramedics were called to an outside community, but that Leeds Grenville taxpayers are funding service in a different municipality.
He said that the closest ambulance to any patient has been mandated by the province’s Ambulance Act to respond to the call, regardless of municipal borders.
