Another example of the unco-ordinated ambulance service in England. In Scotland, the air ambulances are a properly funded integral part of the ambulance service. The English should follow the example of the Scots and have a single ambulance authority which doesn't have to worry about invisible lines drawn on a political map.
This gets rid of post code variations of level of service and maximises the amount of money going to the front line. The amount of egotistical, bureaucratic wastage of money in England beggars belief.
Mr Hopkins (if he is quoted correctly) seems confused. The reaction time has little to do with the aircraft type - it relates to the dispatch procedure and the location of the aircraft. Does Mr Hopkins really have influence on how millions if taxpayers money is spent? I hope not.
