Well let's put a few true facts in this thread instead of just making things up!

1, Nobody has a company car within GNAAS, there are only pool cars which are used by the fund raising teams etc.

2, The paramedic's are all employed by the charity and not seconded from the NHS.

3, Some staff actually took a pay cut to work for the charity including the CEO, not to mention the risk of leaving a secure job to do something they believed in.

4, The CEO of GNAAS has created over a hundred jobs in this region.

5, The CEO received a MBE for his efforts.

6, It takes a massive effort by everyone concerned to raise the 4 million plus pounds a year the charity need to keep the service running.

7, The aircraft attend over a thousand emergency calls a year and make a massive difference to a lot of peoples lives.

I could go on but I have no doubt that some people will take great pleasure in turning all the positives into negatives! I would really like to see some of the people who seem to know it all get of their arse and try to provide such a valuable and complex service of which they clearly have no real knowledge of and I doubt could ever comprehend just what it takes in both personal and professional dedication to maintain.
