Hospitals: Air Ambulance Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, which acute hospital trusts have a helipad which can be used 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
Answered by Karin Smyth
There are currently 55 hospital helipad sites located on NHS England estates with a further 26 sites utilised outside of NHS grounds. While some of these are operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week, many have restricted opening hours due to local planning requirements, such as noise abatement controls at night.
