New policy at BC Emergency Health Services means patients could be waiting longer for an ambulance to respond to their calls.

The new policy means non-life-threatening calls may not be attended to and in some cases, dispatchers may postpone dispatching an ambulance until more ambulances become available in the area.

B.C. small-town mayors are banding together to press the province for action on emergency room closures.
