Single patient in an urban environment with a non trauma history. Why not send the land ambulance that then transported him to hospital?

I havent a clue whether there was anywhere else to land but landing in a building site with all that debris was at best controversial

Having been involved with building sites, the fines for allowing people on site without proper PPE and the prosecutions under COSH are no laughing matter. Removing the barriers may constitute an immediate violation. Why not use the gate or entrance the lorries used?? And I suspect the Courts will pay no heed to the fact that the helicopter was from a charity. Then there may have been constructions in progress that got damaged by the downdraft / hull / crew. I wouldnt have wanted to be the employee who had not objected.....
