They tell us that the swansea air ambulance costs £2m pound per annum to run,yes thats correct £2m,what a waste of money,would it not be more beneficial to more people on a regular basis if that money was used to fund a diabetic unit, a heart unit,even a trauma unit,i mean to say we have to divide the benefit into the cost,dont we? After all we have the police chopper, (why not put a paramedic on board) we even have the chivenor search and rescue helicopter that is fully equipped for almost any emergency and only 15 minutes away! And please dont give me that old chesnut "you may need it on day" as that is not an answer and it just doesnt wash!!
Just a thought,
your views and opinions please,
