Province Promising Solution to Non-Urgent Patient Transfers

A solution to the problem of non-urgent medical transfers in
northwestern Ontario may be at hand.

In the Ontario Legislature yesterday morning, Health Minister Deb Matthews says they are working on a possible solution.

She says they have been meeting with the Northwest Local Health Integration Network, but wouldn't say what exactly the solution might be.

Tory MPP Christine Elliott says the province has received a proposal from Pacific Western Transportation from B.C. which will not only save money but improve service in this region.
