Also they want quicker turn around on EMS to attend to people, that is good, except that hospitals are already running at capacity or over capacity so now they want EMS to bring them in faster. It just seems like it is policies to say "look we are doing stuff!!" without thinking about the next steps.
Since there are no beds for the people in the hospitals right now and barely staff to attend to them, maybe look at that first before telling EMS workers to work faster and harder.

Right, from what I've heard and experienced, fixing the EMS problem starts by fixing the lack of beds(which are staffing issues) that prevent patients moving from the ER to a bed, freeing up an ER space for the EMS to pass patients to.
The reality is these are problems that have been around for well over a decade, and the UCP(and Cons before them) did nothing to address them. Why should anyone trust them now?
