The head of Nova Scotia’s ambulance service says response times have improved across the province since January.

Matthew Crossman, president of Emergency Medical Care Inc., told a legislative committee today that average response times are down from 36 minutes to 18 minutes provincewide. Crossman says the improvement is mainly due to the use of air ambulance services and a program that frees up ambulances by allowing paramedics to discharge some patients at the scene of their treatment rather than taking them to hospital.Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris in U.S. election: ‘I’ve made my choice’
