A recent review of the 111 emergency call system has found the service is effective but has recommended changes to the governance arrangements overseeing the system.
The review was called after a series of botched 111 calls such as one last year in which a 111 call resulted in an ambulance being sent to a Southland home instead of a Lower Hutt home to attend a choking toddler.
Central Emergency Communications in Wellington launched an internal review after the incident.
The latest nationwide review covered the operation of the service to the point where calls are handed over by Telecom to emergency service providers.
It did not cover the response of emergency service providers to 111 calls but looked at whether the service is effective and able to adapt to technology.
