Ambulance NB Weighs In On Grand Manan Death

With Liberal MLA Rick Doucet slamming cuts to air ambulance services on Grand Manan, Ambulance NB is offering its side on the case of a patient who died over the weekend after waiting hours for an ambulance.

The contract between Ambulance New Brunswick (ANB) and Atlantic Charters expired June 30. 

Spokesperson Sophie Cormier-Lalonde saying in a statement Atlantic Charters won't have flown the patient anyway, as their condition was serious enough to warrant critical care flight nurses.

Doucet said the cuts were playing Russian roulette with people's lives.
