Emergency help for farms
Farmers in Wales are extremely concerned, according to the Farmer’s Union of Wales (FUW), about the possible impacts of a proposed restructuring of Wales Air Ambulance services which could lead to the closure of air ambulance bases at Welshpool and Caernarfon.
“The plans have come as a big shock to our members in Montgomeryshire and across mid Wales, and it is a source of great worry,” said FUW Montgomeryshire county executive officer Emyr Davies.
“We all know someone who has had their life saved by the Welshpool air ambulance, often because of the critical minutes and seconds saved as a result of having a service based in the heart of Wales.”
Davies said that many farmers and their family members were among those whose lives had been saved, as well as many others living in isolated communities in regions where accident and emergency centres have been closed and traditional services have been whittled away.
