Help for Air Ambulances

The Air Ambulance APG annual meeting took place today in the House and we discussed in particular how we can improve the level of helicopter access to major trauma hospitals and the developments in co-responding by the 3 main emergency services in conjunction with AA. Attendees included cross party MPs and Lord Tebbit. All officers of the All Party Group were reelected, with yours truly as Chairman, and the intention is to bring all the Air Ambulance organisations together at the House of Commons next year. The good news is that the Association of Air Ambulances is really beginning to help MPs of all parties understand the issues and complexities that go with the provision of this wonderful service.
I am attending the AAA National Conference on Monday 18th November 2013 at the Millenium Gloucester Hotel in London; for full details see the following link http://www.associationofairambulances.co.uk/event/speakers/3/

The rest of the day has been devoted to the Anti Social Behaviour Bill, the hustings for the Deputy Speaker, casework and meeting the National Autistic Society.
