Metalmans cost/benefit views are valid........but only where air ambulances are centrally funded.
However the Swansea air ambulance is funded by direct contributions from the public. Those contributors want an air ambulance for that money and not a diabetic, heart, or trauma unit.
The relative financial merit of any charity based service does not require debate. It's simply what the people supporting that charity want. Just like the RNLI.
Police helicopters on the other hand are centrally funded.........................
