Some of you may have seen the article on Stuff or in the Dominion Post over the weekend about “red tape” holding up ambulances in Martinborough. (See link below.) As we told the Dominion Post on Friday, Wellington Free Ambulance provide the emergency ambulance service in Wairarapa. St John in partnership with the Martinborough Ambulance Trust, provide a first response capability in Martinborough. This service is available from 6pm to 6am seven days a week. Outside of these times the Martinborough First Responder station is unmanned and all calls for assistance are directed to Wairarapa Ambulance provider Wellington Free. St John Martinborough First Responder service exists purely as a Martinborough community service and is delivered by a team of dedicated volunteers and is a valuable additional resource in South Wairarapa. In May the St John Martinborough First Responder service attended a total of eight incidents. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to call us on 0800 ST JOHN (785 646), message us directly, or comment below.
