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)
*****************************************************
