The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure air ambulance services are supported during seasonal spikes of serious accidents in Surrey.

Answered by Karin Smyth

Air ambulances provide services through a longstanding and successful independent charitable model. It is for National Health Service commissioners to work in partnership with local providers, including those providing ambulance services, to best meet the health and care needs of the local population in Surrey.
