ORNGE

The Ontario Government is taking flack from the Opposition parties over the handling of the Province's air ambulance service.


Some members of the Opposition have come out saying the government needs to allow private companies to operate the air ambulance service.

MPP Bill Mauro disagrees.

“At this point we’re all very happy with what the Minister has done to try and rectify some of the problems that have excited at ORNGE for some time. In terms of that suggestion again not being clear, I’m not sure our government is interested in privatizing health care.”

The Province recently put a not-for-profit air ambulance co-ordinator in place after firing former CEO Chris Mazza.
