Public confidence in Ambulance Officers high

St John Chief Executive Jaimes Wood says he is delighted that Ambulance Officers have again ranked among the top three most trusted professions in the New Zealand Reader’s Digest 2007 Trust Survey.

“It is fantastic to see Ambulance Officers continuing to earn the respect and recognition from the public that they deserve,” Mr Wood says.

Ambulance Officers ranked second in the Trust Survey’s most trusted profession category this year, continuing a long-term trend for Ambulance Officers to be in the top three. In 2004, Ambulance Officers topped the category.

“St John Ambulance Officers and their colleagues at St John provide ambulance services to New Zealanders 24/7 - 365 days a year; providing care and comfort to the sick and injured,” Mr Wood says.

“It is a credit to the dedication, hard work and compassion of our members and their colleagues that Ambulance Officers continue to do so well in the annual Trust Survey,” Mr Wood says.
