I have concerns.
And it's not just "is this burning sensation normal"?
The Children's Air Ambulance, is there a real need? I may be a little cynical but I get the feeling that it is just a marketing ploy to tug on the heart strings.
Having done a little research, I have found that there are very few Children's hospitals Nicu's Picu's around the country with dedicated helipads. Also that the amount of transfers/repatriations are so low that it could easily be covered (already are) by the Air Ambulance community as it stands.
I'm all for giving sick children a ride in a helicopter and my views may be tainted by previous incarnations of the Children's Air Ambulance, but when there is so much discussion about AA funding and how the money is spent. Why has nobody asked if we need another one?
