Rejected petition Provide Full or Partial government funding for all UK air ambulance services

Air ambulances across the UK are saving thousands of lives every year and all are completely reliant on charity contributions. This is an unacceptable position for such a vital service, so government funding should be provided.

More details

These are just some examples of the brilliant work my local service (who loved ones of mine have needed on two separate occasions) provide: https://www.eaaa.org.uk/our-work/our-patients

But this is not just about EAAA, but all the various air ambulance services across the UK that could benefit from some guaranteed funding.

Hopefully, the majority of people will never need them, but it'd be great to know that if you do, they'll be able to get the blades spinning regardless.....
