Dear Mr. Killah:
Ministry Agreement with The Manitoulin-Sudbury District Services Board effective the 28th day of January 2014 (the "Agreement")
I am pleased to advise you that the Ministry of Health will provide The Manitoulin-Sudbury District Services Board up to $59,565 in additional base funding with respect to the Land Ambulance Services Grant for the provision of land ambulance services for Territories Without Municipal Organization (TWOMO) for the 2021 calendar year. This will bring the total maximum base funding available under the Agreement for the 2021 calendar year up to $2,675,306 for TWOMO.
I am, therefore, pleased to provide you with a new budget that, pursuant to section 4.2 of the Agreement shall replace the budget in Schedule "B". All terms and conditions contained in the Agreement remain in full force and effect.
The Assistant Deputy Minister of the Emergency Health Services Division will write to The Manitoulin-Sudbury District Services Board shortly concerning the terms and conditions governing this funding.
We continue to rely on your strong leadership in alignment with the plan to build a modern and sustainable public health care system and ensure the on-going provision of front-line services that patients rely on every day.
Thank you for your dedication and commitment to improving ambulance services in Ontario as we modernize and strengthen our public health care system and for all that you and your organization are doing to protect the health and safety of the people of Ontario during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sincerely,
Christine Elliott
