PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Air Ambulance Services (3 July 2023)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many times his Department has made an estimate of the savings to the public purse attributable to charity air ambulance services in the last five years.

Asked by:
Gareth Bacon (Conservative)

We recognise the vital role the air ambulance service plays in providing life-saving treatment to patients across the country.

The National Health Service does not directly fund air ambulances, which are operated by independent charities. No such estimate has been made by the Department.
