"As you know, the Management Services Office recently prepared a report analyzing the current status of emergency medical services in the City. The Pcrtsmouth Emergency Medical Services Advisory Commission has had an opportunity to review zhat report. Attached is a letter from Charles W. Smith, Chairman of PEMSAC, requesting the City Council to consider adding a third ambulance, at least during peak periods. I am reluctant to recommend to you that a third ambulance be added at ~this time, partly because of the cost involved, but mainly because the report shows that the City provides a high quality emergency service comparable to that provided in other Hampton Roads communities and comes very close to meeting stringent national standards regarding response times for cardiac patients. While there is always room for improvement, I believe that we already provide first rate service. However, in view of the PEMSAC's request, I recommend that we continue to monitor the ambulance service to ensure that our high level of care continues. If it appears in the future that the need develops, the service can be expanded at that time. at your meeting to discuss this matter with you.
