From Anova Article in new scotish EMS service
Ananova :



New Scottish air ambulances will be bigger and better

A new and improved Scottish air ambulance service has been launched.

The service will cost £5 million every year and will have two new helicopters which are faster and better-equipped than previous models.

The aircraft have also been designed to operate more efficiently at night-time and in Scotland's ever-changing weather conditions.

stuff snipped out


The latest figures show that every year the service is called out to approximately 3,000 incidents and conveys 3 million patients - the equivalent to more than half the country's population.

The helicopters are able to reach any location on the Scottish mainland in just 35 minutes.
