St John Sees High Ambulance Calls Despite Slowdown

St John is currently receiving around 15,000 ambulance calls each week. This figure, although a slowdown from previous peaks, remains significantly above the expected demand for a busy winter.

Typically, St John would expect around 13,000 calls weekly during busy winter months. The continued high volume of calls indicates persistent pressure on emergency services. While there has been a slowdown, the rate is still classified as 'off the chart' compared to standard expectations. St John continues to adapt to the demands placed upon it, ensuring community health and safety.
