Covid-19: Wellington ambulances won't enter occupation

From Morning Report, 7:22 am on 23 February 2022

Wellington's only emergency ambulance service will no longer attend emergencies within the protest area at Parliament.

Wellington Free Ambulance says it has made the difficult decision because of staff safety after an increase in hostilities towards paramedics.

It says it will give protesters medical attention in a designated safe space outside the cordon.

Susie Ferguson spoke to Wellington Free Ambulance general manager of fundraising and communications Claire Carruthers.
