Amanda Lathlin Calling for an Inquest into Life Flight Patient Death

The Pas’ MLA is calling for an inquest into the death of a man who waited over six hours for a Lifeflight plane to transport him to Winnipeg.

 

Gordon Jebb suffered a heart attack on July 2nd and was rushed to a local hospital, where he fell into a coma and remained on life support.

 

While doctors were able to secure Jebb an ICU bed in Winnipeg, they were unable to access a plane to transport him.

 

He remained on life support for twelve hours until a plane staffed with three health workers were able to fly him out, however he died three days later in Winnipeg.

 

NDP Amanda Lathlin says a full inquest is needed to examine the role privatization played in Jebb’s death, adding the government’s plan poses a risk for northern families, and the need for quality, public health care in all northern communities.
