The charity seeking to provide air ambulance services in Northern Ireland and neighbouring parts of the RoI seems to be confident that it can get up and running with its service by June 2009.
The service they envisage seems quite impressive with a doctor and paramedic in addition to the helicopter crew. This seems to be a similar level of provision to that offered by the London air ambulance.
Exactly how such a system would operate here remains to be seen but certainly the charity could not be accused of lacking ambition.
