Closed Our Air Ambulance services should receive government funding.

Closed on

Currently, the regional Air Ambulance services are funded buy charitable donations. Last year, £11.7 billion was sent abroad in foreign aid. A small percentage of that could help meet the costs. The services should be centralised and funded by a reduction in foreign aid.

It cost around £7 million to keep two Helicopters in the air. £200 million would 100% fund the UK's Air ambulance service.
