Ah well, glad to see everyone is pulling in the same direction on the air ambulance front - no wonder CHAS nearly went into meltdown earlier in the year.
Thud - a be-all-and-end-all solution would be 24/7 air ambulance cover across the whole country with standardised crew composition and medical protocols and big enough helicopters to do inter-hospital transfers whilst allowing the medical teams to work on the casualties.
