Don Drummond Dept: Not only is it cheaper for taxpayers and easier on patients, it s the type of change Ontarians can expect in the wake of Don Drummond s looming report on transforming government services in an era of tight finances, according to The Star. It s like having the emergency room on the front lawn of the nursing home, says Nova Scotia Health Minister Maureen MacDonald and a senior citizen who falls and cuts her head in a nursing home can get stitches in her room from extended care paramedics without going to hospital if she lives in Halifax. If that Halifax senior has also sprained her wrist or has chest pains she fears are a heart attack, the specially trained paramedics can handle that, too, taking her to hospital only if an EKG warrants.
