The Assistant Deputy Minister of Emergency Health Services will write to the Manitoulin-Sudbury District Services Board shortly concerning the terms and conditions governing the funding.
Thank you for your dedication and commitment to improving ambulance services in Ontario and for your ongoing dedication and commitment to addressing the healthcare needs of Ontarians as we modernize and strengthen our public health care system.
