Thanks for clarifying SAR

So they currently go to x trauma cases a week using a road ambulance or pre care practitioner at say £300 per call. So now they are going to turn out a helicopter with the same or a less well trained medical team (as the helicopter only carries a paramedic not a doctor) for say £1500

So they spend £1200 x per week more but of course it isn't ambulance service money

Yes that sounds like the NHS.
