The Ministry of Health is funding an offload nurse program at Sault Area Hospital that will allow ambulances to get back on the road sooner
After months of lobbying the provincial government for some relief in response to the hundreds of hours local paramedics spend stuck in the hospital’s Emergency Department on offload delay, a significant amount of funding has been committed to combat the issue.
Those totals are actually an improvement over the same month in 2022 when more than 16 hours a day were averaged and 510 total hours were spent in offload delay. “There has been some improvement and we hope that it’s starting to head in the right direction,” said Katie Kirkham, chief of Paramedic Services, during Thursday’s meeting of the local Social Services administration board.
