Guest Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Here is the Yorkshire TV advert, One of the few lucky enough to have the cash to give this a go. (It worked) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEl43bLkrw4 SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard1910 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks for that Simon, Haven't seen that on TV at all and i've always thought the air ambulance was part of the NHS and NHS funded I don't get out much then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 It amazes me how many people think that the Air ambulances are NHS funded. I hope that this Tip to Tip will make a few more people aware of the fact they are not. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinbg Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The Air Ambulances are not funded by the NHS and it is a deliberate decision on their part to operate that way. It is because (amongst other reasons) that they are then not burdened by the NHS & Government politics which would tie them to operating in a certain way. They can also chose to go to incidents which really need them rather than for politically motivated or "league table" & government target motivated reasons. It's great that "tip to tip" is supporting two great charities, one being "Air Ambulances". The Air Ambulances should be supported whenever we can. I hope all that makes sense.

asquaddie Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Just a thought..... Simon Has anybody thought about contacting 'Richard Hammond' from Top Gear. Might be good for the press and TV if he turns up! Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
