http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/w...ds/6400961.stm Many congratulations to the folk who've made this possible - good news for those living (or passing through) that part of the UK.
I was interested to note a comment in the 3rd paragraph from the end, in which the Chief Exec of the region's Ambulance Service states:
This is a very significant move and builds on national best practice
Nothing to do with this particular region, but I wonder if that's the "best practice" that might lead to another county not too far south losing its locally-based, all-year, 17 hrs 30 mins daily air ambulance coverage in favour of something based further west and only available for some of the daylight hours. Hmm?
