It would have been pre-arranged to get a no doubt seriously ill person to whichever hospital or specialist unit they were going to as efficiently as possible.

In such circumstances anybody is a VIP and a 10 minute delay to folk going on holiday is neither here nor there.

We stop or delay traffic for HEMS as well and, if anyone else is like me, quietly cross our fingers that we never have the misfortune to have need of its excellent services on a personal basis.
