Interesting. A very tiny dent in the cost of twenty 8/12 tonne 4000/5000shp helicopters with a crew of four could be made with a difficult-to-collect couple of million pounds but billions were saved by dropping the PFI and letting this contract.


Was there a particular format of political suicide that you thought might attract our legislators and their agency?

Scenario 1
We cannot transfer your premature infant to the correct unit hundreds of miles away by air because neither your household insurance nor your private health plan cover the cost.

Scenario 2
Please text your insurance certificate number to the following HMCG number before using this coastal path/beach.
