Omarama residents angered by inconsistent medical care.

Omarama residents are angry because they say they are not getting timely medical care. The nearest ambulance is 30 kilometres away, but the town in South Canterbury's Mackenzie Basin has a group of trained volunteer first responders and an agreement with St John that they'll be dispatched when they are needed. Residents say these volunteers too often aren't called out when they should be - a subject that will be raised at a community meeting tomorrow. Tess Brunton reports.
