COWTOWN EMERGENCY!!! KANSAS CITY AMBULANCE RESPONSE TIMES FAIL TO MEET NATIONAL STANDARDS AND HAVE SLOWED DOWN SINCE THE TRAGIC MAST TAKEOVER!!!
Fox4 keeps us up to date on the tragic consequences of Kansas City City Council bad decisions: Audit: KCFD Ambulance Response Times Don’t Meet National Standards
"According to the current national standards, ambulances should respond to calls in nine minutes or less 90 percent of the time. But according to the results of the City Auditor, ambulance service in Kansas City . . . Only met the standard from 82 to 89 percent of the time.
The auditor's report showed that response times have been, on average, about a minute slower since the Fire Department took over for MAST."

I guess I'd not get in a big hurry to save some of the folks either
ReplyDeletePay for performance! Cut their budget until they either prove they can fix it, or they acknowledge they are in over their heads and it is time to privatize the ambulance service. Here's beating we'd see the latter before the former.
ReplyDeleteThe better questions is, which of ANY "services" provided by KCMO city government meet national standards?
ReplyDeleteAll the hype is about world class, but the reality is Third World.
agreed!
ReplyDeleteExcuse me, but missing some arbitrary number by 1 to 8 percent doesn't seem like a big deal to me. We as the people of his city should be more concerned over patient care, and increase of deaths/injury compared to when mast ran things. Just an uneducated guess, but I doubt there's much difference.
