Unconflicted - you support the addition of 3 A&E doctors per Air ambulance at a cost of £300k to each charity per year to gain a small benefit for one or 2 patients.
I believe the money would be better spent in other areas of the NHS, regardless of the fact the taxes are supposed to provide these services. The charities could donate funds or sponsor extra posts or provide buildings/renovations where the NHS trusts are overstretched.
It seems the charities are sitting on a huge pile of cash and are looking for ways to spend it quickly so people don't ask questions or stop donating.
The problem with allocating resources based on population is that it doesn't take into account the extra distances involved in less populated areas (the SW for example).
Thud - we have moaned about the avionics fit in the Mk 3 Sea King for years but to no avail - multiband radios are cheap as chips but getting someone in the IPT to fund them is impossible.
