Thats exactly right Al. You got it in one. As with all things in life, you tend to get what you pay for.
For any aeromedical service, pick any 2 of the following:
1. Cheap
2. High level of care (ie quality)
3. High levels of service provision and reliability (ie availability)
You should usually be able to get 2 of these, but 3 is impossible.
Of course in NSW, the previous government could not even get 2 of these. But what else were we ever going to expect from that lot! Talk about a "weapon of mass destruction".
