Tootle pip!!
It's an interesting commentary on the nature of bureaucracy. It was easier to start a brand new agency (AMSA) than to change the culture of Airservices enough for them to do rescue stuff efficiently. Despite Airservices, on the face of it, being knowledgeable about matters of aviation. I guess no-one here will be surprised by that.
