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:
“War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view “realistically”; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent—war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“But when with moving accents thou
Shalt constant faith and service vow,
Thy Celia shall receive those charms
With open ears, and with unfolded arms.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
