How sad for the local MPs. All they are concerned about with the move is the 'loss of jobs' and loss of business to the little corner shop nearby. Pull your heads out and look at the advantages of the proposed relocation - closer to 4 of the most commonly used hospitals (RAH, Southern General, Golden Jubilee & the Childrens one [forget the name of it]). Instead of Seaking boys coming out of Prestwick and gingerly navigating the A737 to get to the Southern General to pick up doctors then go on scene, the doctors can quickly drive to the new SAR base and get on with the other crews - and launch straight out. Screw your corner shop, thats just a matter of life.
