Trauma Centres

Request

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I am doing some work experience research on air ambulances and I am looking for some more details regarding national policy and plans for major trauma centres, where they will be located, and how many in each region etc. I have read the implementation plans published recently so I know this is a work in progress, but any further information you can give me would be much appreciated (I understand you will probably only have information with regard to your SHA region but I ask about national plans in case you have access to those too)
