Paramedics from Prescott-Russell will continue answering calls for help from the City of Ottawa. But plans for a new “silent running” routine is just on tem- porary hold. Michel Chrétien, director of emergency services for the United Counties of Prescott- Russell (UCPR), reported that officials with the health and long-term care ministry for the new Progressive Conservative government are “interested” in the counties’ ongoing battle with the City of Ottawa over the larger municipality’s constant and excessive use of PR ambulance units to deal with its own emergency calls. Prescott-Russell residents must often wait when they call for an ambu- lance because all the PR units are occupied with calls from Ottawa. Chrétien noted the new government is also interested in finding a solution to the outstanding $1.5 million debt the city owes the counties for the past two years of using Prescott-Russell’s ambulance service for Ottawa calls. But first, the ministry officials who have taken over the file want the UCPR to hold off on plans for a new dispatch res- ponse protocol for dealing with the excessive call volume from Ottawa. This month was to be the start of a new “silent running” plan for the UCPR ambu- lance service. Prescott-Russell units would still answer dispatch calls to Ottawa as part of the “shared assistance” protocol for ambulance services in Ontario. But after dealing with a call from Ottawa, any UCPR unit will then mark itself as “unavailable for dispatch” until it has crossed back over into the Prescott-Russell region. The new protocol is tabled for the time being to allow the new ministry officials assigned to review the issue a chance to familiarize themselves with the situation. There is no deadline set yet for when the new provincial government will present a proposed solution. Chrétien noted, however, that the UCPR will still hold out the option for the “silent running” plan if something doesn’t happen. 5IFQSFWJPVT8ZOOF-JCFSBMHPWFSONFOU did force the City of Ottawa to review and PIEDS SENSIBLES!

Les Comtés unis de Prescott et Russell attendront avant de mettre en place un nouveau protocole pour traiter les appels externes excessifs de la Ville d’Ottawa pour les unités d’ambulance de Prescott-Russell, à la demande du nouveau gouvernement provincial. Mais Michel Chrétien, directeur des services d’urgence des CUPR, a prévenu que le nouveau protocole est toujours une option si une solution n’est pas trouvée rapidement. —photo Gregg Chamberlain

revise how it operates its own protocols for its on-duty paramedics and also introdu- ced new deployment regulations. Chrétien noted those have helped reduce some of
the UCPR’s outside call numbers over the past few months though a proper statistical comparison is not available yet.
