Not sure that is the insinuation. Certainly those who have flown HEMS in the past would agree the job is or was very rewarding but, unlike up here in Scotland where we had and still have the ambulance service contract as primary HEMS, the charity driven model appears open to abuse as publicised by BBC Panorama with TAAS a few years ago. But is that abuse far more wide ranging and commonplace? Are there conflicts of interest? Where is the oversight? A quick search online reveals Dorset Somerset have published accounts showing vast sums of money and turnover really surprising. A level almost akin to running a UKSAR base which clearly would have far more infrastructure, assets and requirement sets.
