Greater Sudbury is still waiting for information on the impact merging the province's ambulance services will have on the city.

Joseph Nicholls, the city's interim GM of Community Safety, told members of the emergency services committee Wednesday that the health ministry plans to merge 59 ambulance services into 10. They have promised consultations before details are released, he said.

“Other than that, we have no details,” Nicholls said.

While not offering any specifics, Premier Doug Ford and Health Minister Christine Elliot said Wednesday no paramedics would lose their jobs as a result of the changes.
