Its a real shame to see Ambulance Victoria negotiating with Pel Air at this stage of proceedings. The current experience level at the EN base is outstanding. Something money can't buy. We all know its just business when selecting a new tender, but occasionally it should'nt.
The Ambulance Victoria spokesman today said
"For the patient it won't be any different, it will just be different planes and different pilots. It was a tender process and an alternative company was identified".
If it is true regarding the desire for B350's, I dare say the experience
will be different for many patient's considering there will be
less available aerodromes! Less available aerodromes means less Air Ambulance coverage for our country friends.
But Im sure Ambulance Victoria know what they are doing
. Let's hope so!
