Ambulance Patient Record Release
York Region keeps records (called Patient Care Reports) of interactions they have with their patients. Patients and their lawyers or insurance companies can request these records. Records cannot be released without the signed consent of the patient.
A record will include notes from the time that the ambulance arrives until the time that the patient leaves paramedic care.
Cost
This service is free of charge for patients requesting their own information. Law firms and insurance companies must pay a fee of $30 for this service.
Please Note: If York Region staff are unable to find a report, they will return your cheque to you.
