Hospitals: Air Ambulance Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether funding is available to upgrade hospital helipads to enable night-time operation.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Hospital helipads can be funded via several routes, including by National Health Service trusts, charities, and donors. NHS trusts, working with integrated care systems, can use their local capital budgets to support investment in helipads where these are a local priority, either directly or as part of larger infrastructure projects. Decisions on upgrading hospital helipads are taken at a local level.
