The St John Ambulance Service in the Northern Territory says it reached a critical failure point oversight, as it was forced to abandon more than 40 per cent of Triple Zero calls across Darwin and Palmerston. The service says while no one died as a result, the first time it happened St John declared Operation Capacity White which means it could not meet the demands for the service with a high chance of harm for patients or staff.
