Hello, Cody,

                        thank you for your follow-up question last
Thursday in relation to our response 1617-0612, asking the Ministry to:  …
confirm that there is only one location active at any given time that is
receiving said 111 calls (except in the event of an emergency, where they
are re-routed to Porirua)?

 

I’m advised the current situation is that Spark has 111 emergency calls
being answered in Wellington (Porirua) and Christchurch (Police Regional
HQ), plus the standby site is available in Palmerston North.

 

I hope this answers your question.

 

Yours sincerely,
