Further dates in Powys have been added to the consultation about the future of the Welshpool Air Ambulance base.

A meeting is set to take place at Y Plas in Machynlleth next week on Tuesday May 23 at 6.30pm and a new date has been added in Newtown on June 5 to take place at the Monty Club at 6pm.

These are some of the last chances for members of the public to give their opinion in the first part of the consultation.

Chief Ambulance Services Commissioner, Stephen Harrhy, who is running the consultation, said: “The EMRTS Service Review focuses on making sure that the patients who need this important critical care service can have access to it no matter where they live in Wales or when they need it. 

“We know that EMRTS saves lives and that patients who are treated by EMRTS recover better and quicker, so this impartial Review is to consider how as many people as possible in Wales could benefit from this service, as well as considering the most effective use of clinical skills, and other resources.

“We have had good interest from stakeholders in the EMRTS Service Review so far and I am grateful for the valuable contributions from respondents to date.”
