BBC NEWS | Have Your Say | Who pays for the air ambulance?
Today I got a charity bag (air ambulance).
Now i know it's probably best they stay out of it (because they'll bleep it up like everything else they get involved in).
But why do we not have government support for our air ambulances (they do excellent work in many Traffic collisions etc).
I understand a air ambulance isn't always the best option when it comes to built up areas due to hazards from obstacles, that's hardly a reason to blank them.
Also as a island nation why no gov support for RNLI?
Is it to remain free from all interference from outside bureaucracy, which would almost inevitably end up with the charity being compromised in its aims? Or is it that they're loaded like oxfam etc,and they don't need the support?
