Paramedic staffing crisis sparks Manitoba political row
The Progressive Conservative Caucus accuses the NDP government of neglect as EMS staffing in Shoal Lake Virden Russell and Erickson runs critically short. Only one paramedic for 13 posts in Shoal Lake and other stations show severe gaps amid hospital ER closures. The PCs demand rapid action including rural accommodations, expanded training outside Winnipeg, and a full plan to boost primary care paramedics.
