  1. Why is the NHS depending on a registered charity, the Air Ambulance? As a charity its not publicly accounatable, although its also a registered company, which is also not publically accountable. Why are some medical cases being flown to London from the QEQM, at great cost to the public who donate to the charity? Its all part of the UK descending into a 3rd world country!
