Air ambulance evacuation is an extremely intricate and complex matter and is not always the answer.
It is sometimes neither in the medical interest of the patient nor within
the financial resource of the individu

al
having to pay the bill. Financial pressures, however, must be resisted and
all decisions taken on medical grounds, otherwise an unnecessary element
of risk is introduced. Hasty and badly organised air ambulance evacuations
could result in costly and ill coordinated exercises to the detriment of
the patient and family.
Whilst the need for air ambulance repatriation does exist, it should not be the automatic and precipitated response in every case where a person has been injured or taken seriously ill in a remote area. This particularly applies to the patient who, having undergone a prescribed course of treatment for a week or so, could then by repatriated by scheduled airline service without undue risk.
