The region is getting over $1.8 million to address ambulance offload delays
The province is making a big investment in local emergency services.
The Niagara region is getting over $1.8 million, to help address offload delays at hospitals.
This is more than double last year's amount.
MPP Sam Oosterhoff says this will help Niagara EMS respond to more 911 calls.
"As local MPP, I have been advocating for increased support to our local emergency medical services and offload health care workers. This provincial support through the Dedicated Offload Nurses Program will reduce ambulance wait times, allowing paramedics to respond to other emergency calls."
The province is also increasing funding of the annual Land Ambulance Service Grant for Niagara from $26,651,963 to $28,065,084.
