'They are not just a Wales Air Ambulance. Our air ambulance respond to their calls and theirs come to us' - Councillor Heather Kidd.
A meeting of the health and adult social care overview and scrutiny committee on Monday was told that a consultation exercise on the potential closure of air ambulance bases in Welshpool and Caernarfon in favour of a new hub in North Wales has been delayed.
They fear is that it will take emergency air ambulances much longer to reach remote rural areas such as south west Shropshire, if the emergency response cannot come from Cosford.She added that many local people and organisations, including parish councils, had been donating money to the Wales Air Ambulance, which is a charity. They may not want to donate money if the service moves to north Wales."We always come out much the poorer.
The service review of the Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service , which works in partnership with the Wales Air Ambulance Charity, has agreed to"explore and maximise the additional activity that could be achieved from existing bases and to explore options to reconfigure the service". A motion calling for the Welsh Government to work with its NHS partners and the Welsh Air Ambulance Charitable Trust to ensure that air ambulance bases in Welshpool and Caernarfon remain in operation was debated in the Senedd.
