Emergency Service
Except in the Wellington region, emergency and non-urgent ambulance transportation is primarily carried out by the charitable organization, St. John New Zealand. Ambulance services in metropolitan Wellington and in Kapiti are provided by the Wellington Free Ambulance organisation. The Wairarapa DHB maintains its own ambulance service.

Famous quotes containing the words emergency and/or service:
“In this country, you never pull the emergency brake, even when there is an emergency. It is imperative that the trains run on schedule.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“We could not help being struck by the seeming, though innocent, indifference of Nature to these men’s necessities, while elsewhere she was equally serving others. Like a true benefactress, the secret of her service is unchangeableness. Thus is the busiest merchant, though within sight of his Lowell, put to pilgrim’s shifts, and soon comes to staff and scrip and scallop-shell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
