were the first in york region to receive advanced life- saving care from paramedics last week but the good news is tainted for yorks emergency medical service ems personnel who are facing yet another battle with ministry of health officials as of march 20 the region can boast of having one ambu lance staffed by paramedics trained in advanced lifesaving techniques although the ambulance is centred in busy richmond hill it can be farmed out to other parts of the region when needed according to york ems general manager tony di monte the upgraded paramedics administered intravenous drugs to the cardiac arrest and diabetic shock patients thats something ambulance personnel with basic training arent allowed to do before last week york was the only region in the greater toronto area whose ambulance attendants did nt have some level of enhanced lifesaving training obviously were having success and even in this short time weve made a difference di monte told the regions health committee when the region agreed last march to take over ambulance operations councillors made a commitment to train at least half of the 189 paramedics in advanced lifesaving skills over four years paramedic lome cowx said ambulance attendants were enthusiastic about beginning their training in january when york officially assumed ambulance operations but although the region had a company lined up to train paramedics the ministry changed the rules at the last minute now paramedics must take their course through the michener institute for applied health sciences in toronto or through an accredited college or university but no college or university teaches advanced lifesaving skills and michener is fully booked because more ambulance operators are training their paramedics in advanced skills ithas nothing to do with yorks ems team theyre just as frustrated as us and our base hospital cowx said it puts everything back its not hugely wrong but its not as picture perfect as we thought it would be no need for roadblock cowx said the setback means york residents still arent receiving the best possible care in an emergency ministry spokesperson dan strasbourg could not be reached for comment while cowx understands why the ministry needs to ensure paramedics receive proper training he said theres no need for the roadblock we all need checks and balances but i would expect the region is more than capable of making sure there are checks and balances here brad meekin yorks ems director of operations is also frus trated by the ministry there always seems to be these processes or regulations where they want us to slowthe process from our perspective we want to get in and get the job done he said on so many issues they are holding the cards meekin speculated the ministry is tying yorks progress in red tape because regional officials are challenging the province over ambulance care we seem to be challenging them much more than the six operators who provided ambulance care in york in the past he said i dont think theyre used to that relationship they former operators were 100percent funded by the ministry so they had to toe the line now that we pay 5050 we want to set the standards york officials have been fighting with the ministry over issues related to ambulances including funding the state of the ambulance fleet they inherited and securing approval for advanced lifesaving training meekin said the region is still pressuring the province to help pay for upgrading paramedics skills but four months ago strasbourg said the region shouldnt expect the province to contribute were talking about career development here he said that is something that the municipality would pay or the paramedic would pay as an investment in his career or her career
