Subject: Official Information request - Information relating to a
90-minute response to a 111 medical emergency

Dear New Zealand Police,
Please supply all information you have regarding an incident at Pukeahu
Park in central Wellington on Friday night - 22 Nov 2019.  NZ Police would
have received an emergency call at 20:44 ; approximately 1 hour and 15
minutes after the first 111 call was received by Wellington Free
Ambulance.
The call related to a male falling backwards approximately one metre onto
concrete and hitting the back of his head.  He was bleeding from his head
and slipping in and out of consciousness.  Emergency response did not
occur until 90 minutes after the first 111 call was made.  It required 3
members of the public and at least 4 calls to 111 to get attendance at
this event.
At the time NZ Police said they had been in contact with Wellington Free
Ambulance over the incident and that a police unit had been dispatched but
had subsequently been diverted.
Please supply all official information relating to this event - including
audio transcripts and any correspondence between agencies.
I am a New Zealand citizen residing in New Zealand.  Please reply to this
FYI address as there is public interest in this event.
Yours faithfully,
Gareth Watkins
