Air Ambulance
Motion or resolution considered by Powys County Council
This motion was heard on 13/10/2022. It was proposed by Elwyn Vaughan and seconded by Gary Mitchell .
Motion as voted upon
The air ambulance has provided an essential and valuable service to Mid Wales for a number of years.
The proposed transfer of the base from Welshpool is therefore a retrograde step and one of great concern to our residents.
It is imperative that an equally efficient service that takes into consideration the rurality of the area, the difficulty of getting an ordinary ambulance and fewer health options is kept
We therefore call on the air ambulance base to be kept at Welshpool and to look into the option of extending the hours of service.
Result: Passed
