Paramedic Shortfall

Ventura County, open your eyes. You are a highly educated and intelligent group of people, yet are so ignorant of your pre-hospital emergency medical system. Do you really believe you have adequate paramedic service in Ventura County?

We have been betrayed by our county supervisors and the Ventura County Health Care Agency. The Ventura County grand jury (for several consecutive years) has been very clear in their reports with recommendations. Why are they ignored? We have the facilities and the manpower in place within the Fire Department. Why not use them?

What type of community disaster plan do we have with a private ambulance company in charge of our emergency medical system, and who is the watchdog?
