Like TC et al, it seems good news to me too. Once the NHS has implicitly accepted the value of air ambulances, it would seem difficult for them not to progess to a continuous funding of this service - assuming that logic and morality applies to decisions made by politicians, of course?! . .. .I don't know what those directly involved think, but another desirable improvement may be a sensible basis for deployment of this scarce and expensive resource - I have seen/heard about some fairly strange uses of air ambulances.
