A delegation from EHS attended the monthly council meeting in the Municipality of the District 
of Guysborough on Wednesday via video link. They were invited to entertain questions from the council on ambulance service in the MODG. Council was looking for some assurances that wait times for both 911 response and hospital transfers would be reduced; they were not satisfied with the feedback from EHS. Warden Vernon Pitts said the situation was unacceptable.
Council, based on the information presented by the delegation, passed a motion to send a letter to the government and the Nova Scotia Health Authority about the scarcity of ambulance service in the MODG.
Pitts said, “We want a minimum level of service within MODG and surrounding areas; that’s not too much to ask for.”
