The second phase of public consultation phase began this week over plans to remove the Air Ambulance located in Welshpool, with meetings and drop-in events being booked across the area.

The NHS Wales Emergency Ambulance Services Committee (EASC) is holding public meetings in the area to gather views as part of Phase 2 of the consultation process.

  Air Ambulance Consultation - Public Meeting

This event starts at 13/10/2023 06:30pm and is being held at Newtown High School. Tickets free. Click here for more information.

The first phase of public engagement, initiated earlier this year by the Welsh NHS's Emergency Ambulance Services Committee, witnessed substantial participation, with impassioned community members passionately defending the Welshpool base during public meetings.

The newly launched Phase Two introduces an analysis indicating that the future of the Welshpool base remains uncertain. The report suggests that restructuring the Caernarfon and Welshpool bases into a single location, Rhuddlan, could lead to performance improvements. However, data also shows that maintaining the current base configuration and adding an extra vehicle can yield similar results.

The public can engage with the process in several ways, such as by visiting https://easc.nhs.wales/engagement/sdp/ or attending the public meetings in this second phase, listed below:

  • Theatr Hafren - Newtown Campus, Public Drop-in Friday, October 13, 12:00 - 15:00
  • Newtown High School, Public Meeting, Friday, October 13, 18:30 - 19:30
