16968 (2026). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: Is a nominated priority fuel site located within operational range of every St John and Wellington Free Ambulance station, and if not, which stations lack such access?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that emergency road ambulance services are in discussions with the fuel sector on how fuel will be prioritised. I am further advised that emergency road ambulance services have access to fuel at Z, Caltex, and Challenge stations using their fuel cards, and are currently trialling access from BP and Mobil stations.
