MPP questions Ornge night time service

A Northern Ontario Tory wants to know why some night calls for air ambulance service were ignored.  Norm Miller, the MPP for Parry Sound – Muskoka says Ornge declined to respond to some calls in the north despite good weather.  Miller says this is unacceptable and Ornge needs to provide a reliable service.  Miller says now that the health minister knows what’s going on, it’s his plan to work with the ministry to ensure reliable air ambulance service.  He adds if changes are needed, then let’s implement them instead of waiting for a tragedy before any action is taken.
