Sorry TM
I am no apologist for this charity but inter hospital paediatric transfers are well demonstrated to be necessary and to save lives. Both neonates and children need transfers to specialised units. We have national guidelines for standards and these transfers need specialised staff and equipment not available on HEMS
You are correct that that many hospitals do not have dedicated helipads some 30 years after it was made a national requirement to consider their provision, but this effects adult transfers as well and is not in itself a reason to deny these patients dedicated transfers.
