The Honorable, The Senate:
Attached is the state plan for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in Wisconsin for the years 2002-2003. This report meets the statuary requirement s.
146.53(2) that the Department shall keep the state plan current and reorder priorities based on recommendations of the EMS Board. The EMS Board agreed early in 2002 that the plan should not be finalized until they had reviewed the EMS Section priorities and reprioritized their own objectives at their annual June planning session. the report summarizes EMS activity on what has been done in the past two years, what is currently in process, and what is planned or being considered for the near future.
The statute also requires a public hearing on a draft of the plan prior to final adoption and submission to the legislature under s.
13.172(2). The public hearing was held October 9, 2002.
Thank you for your attention to this report.
Sincerely,
Phyllis J. Dube
