I aggree that this ,along with other air medic services, should be funded by the government, but I think there is more chance of hell freezing over before that happens

If the tories win the next election, they'll probably give it to BUPA, who will then close it because it is "uneconomic to run" - translation: "way too far north of Watford and we can't make any money out of it"
Maybe we should be grateful for what we have.....
