In May, the Department of Health Bureau of EMS sent a survey to all EMS services operating at the ALS level that do not currently have licenses to carry controlled substances (CS).

The survey solicits feedback on the impact a proposed requirement to carry CS would have on these services. Initially, some 58 services who do have current CS licenses were mistakenly included in the survey. 

Responses are due back to DOH by July 31, 2013. The contact point at DOH is Deputy Director Dan Clayton. Click here to contact him via email.
