Interesting that those benefiting from running the service want an essential part of the NHS funded by charity and not the NHS. I wonder why. And why stop at Air Ambulances? I am sure cancer is emotive enough. Indeed why not let charity sponsor the NHS lock stock and barrel. And if it cant cope may be private companies would like to help. We could call it privatisation, or in politician speak reorganisation.
This all seems to be getting highly political and opaque, and when politics gets into medicine fingers get burnt and the patient suffers.
