An incident involving a Geraldton grandmother, who died waiting 32 minutes in cardiac arrest, has raised the alarm over Western Australia's paramedic staffing crisis.
When the first triple zero call was made at about 2.30pm, there were two regional crews on shift who were busy with other jobs.
At 2.34pm, the St John's call centre put out an alert asking if any off-duty volunteers or paramedics could help.
Three minutes later, a crew in between night shifts offered to work overtime, but management said no.
