This morning, PC Leader Tim Houston discussed solutions to the ambulance wait times, where some Nova Scotians have been forced to wait over an hour and a half for an ambulance to arrive. Houston says when seniors can’t get a long-term care bed, they go to the hospital and when hospitals are filled, paramedics can’t offload patients and as a result can’t respond to calls.

Houston says the PC plan includes agressive recruitment and retention of doctors, ensuring seniors have access to long-term care, opening up operating rooms beyond day-time hours and providing virtual care to Nova Scotians without a family doctor.
