There are currently 59 different operators of paramedic and emergency services throughout Ontario. The Ford government, which already has students protesting all over the province due to OSAP cuts, has recently hinted at a massive ambulance/emergency service merge during the budget tabled last week by Finance Minister Vic Fedeli. Vic then added a reference to “Integrating emergency health services into Ontario’s health care system.” The document also stated, “The government will streamline the way land ambulance dispatch services are delivered by better integrating Ontario’s 59 emergency health service operators and 22 dispatch centres”, without providing further details.
